First Line: There now. She's passed, that slight
Last Line: Good-bye, small light that shone, %fragrance, woman, music, %happiness...You are gone!
Alternate Author Name(s): Nerval, Gerard De




She passed, the young girl
Lively and nimble like a bird
In her hand a shining flower,
In her mouth a new refrain.
She is perhaps the only one in the world
Whose heart would respond to mine,
Who coming into my deep night
With a single look would clear it up!
But no, - my youth is over…
Farewell, sweet ray that gave me, -
Perfume, young girl, harmony…
Happiness was passing, - it has fled!
