The Cydalises

Poem by Gérard De Nerval Period 19th centuryPrint

Where are our sweethearts?
They are in the grave.
They are happier,
In a fairer realm!

They are near the angels,
In the depths of the blue sky,
And sing the praises
Of the mother of God!

O white betrothed!
O young virgin in bloom!
Forsaken lover,
Withered by sorrow!

Deep eternity
Smiled in your eyes…
Torches extinguished of the world,
Be relit in the heavens!

Gérard de Nerval
