Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Pantomime

Paul Verlaine

Pierrot, who is nothing like Clytandre

Empties a bottle without waiting,

And, sensibly, cuts into a paté.

 

Cassandre, at the end of the street,

Sheds a hidden tear

For his disinherited nephew.

 

That impertinent Harlequin plans

The abduction of Columbine

And pirouettes four times.

 

Columbine dreams, surprised

To feel a heart in the breeze

And to hear a voice in her heart.
