Is there a translation into english, apart from some blasphemy through google translator?

[Caramellatta]

Wow, I never knew Faure also set this poem to music. I am more familiar with Debussy's. This is beautiful.

@Caramellatta Now you know... :-) We are all the time discovering something we didn't know, true? :-) Thank you.

With regards to translation, the poem translates well into english. It actually sounds good in english. I would only have to "think" on three spots for the "right" word/phrase

in english. However, thanks for your intention to send a translation. Regards!

Very nice! Beautiful poem!

@roccoprch1 Moi aussi j'aime beaucoup les chansons de Fauré... et Souzay... Et le poème de Verlaine est vraiment très beau dans sa simplicité ... :-)

@nadaniente115a "Very beautiful in its simplicity", very true. I was able to understand/translate your response without any difficulties ( i.e. no use of dictionary).

However, I can't say the same for translating the poem, I was helped (dictionary, etc.).

Although once promising as a student of french, it is all rusty and limited now. Any language is "very much alive", you have to live it. However, your posting is "very much alive", it is very beautiful. Thanks! Regards!
