Translation
Rose
You are divine and gracious
A majestic statue
In love!
Sculptured by God
And formed ardently
From the soul of the most beautiful flower
Of the most active odor
That on the life is the favorite
Of the hummingbird
If God
Was so clement to me
Here on this ambient
Of light, formed on a screen
Dazzling and beautiful...
Your heart
Speared as mine is
Nailed and crucified
Over the rose and the cross
Of your breathless chest
You are the ideal form
Masterful statue
Oh! Perennial soul!
Of my first love
Sublime love...
You have been made by God
The sovereign flower
You are a creation of God
That buries, in every heart
A love
The laughter, the faith, the pain
In aromatic sandalwoods
Full of taste
In so doleful voices
Like a dream in a bloom
You are a dairy star
You are the mother of royalty
You are everything, concluding
That has the most beautiful
In every glare
Of the sacred Nature
Forgive me
If I dare confessing to you
I shall always be in love with you
Oh! Flower!
My chest doesn't resist
Oh! My God!
How sad is
The uncertainty of a love
That makes me more grieve than
Waiting
To conduct you to an altar someday
Swear at the feet of the Almighty
In touching prayers
Of pain, and receive the anoiting
Of your gratitude
After redeeming my cravings
In clouds of kisses
I shall envolve you
Until I perish
Of all the wilthering
