Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Mandoline
Paul Verlaine
The givers of serenades
And the pretty listeners
Exchange niceties
Under the singing branches.
It's Thyrsis and it's Amyntas,
And it's the eternal Clytander,
And it's Damis who, for many
Cruel women, wrote many tender poems.
Their short coats of silk,
Their long dresses with trains,
Their elegance, their joy,
And their soft blue shadows,
Whirl around in the ecstasy
Of a pink and grey moon,
And the mandolin chatters
Amid the shivers of the breeze.
