Lyrics and translation Philippe Sly & Michael McMahon - The House of Life: Love-Sight
When
do
I
see
thee
most,
beloved
one?
Quand
te
vois-je
le
plus,
ma
bien-aimée
?
When
in
the
light
the
spirits
of
mine
eyes
Quand
dans
la
lumière
les
esprits
de
mes
yeux
Before
thy
face,
their
altar,
solemnize
Devant
ton
visage,
leur
autel,
solennise
The
worship
of
that
Love
through
thee
made
known?
L'adoration
de
cet
Amour
révélé
par
toi
?
Or
when
in
the
dusk
hours
(we
two
alone)
Ou
quand
dans
les
heures
crépusculaires
(nous
deux
seuls)
Close-kissed
and
eloquent
of
still
replies
Embrassés
de
près
et
éloquents
de
réponses
silencieuses
Thy
twilight-hidden
glimmering
visage
lies,
Ton
visage
voilé
de
crépuscule
se
repose,
scintillant,
And
my
soul
only
sees
thy
soul
its
own?
Et
mon
âme
ne
voit
que
ton
âme,
sa
propre
?
O
love,
my
love!
if
I
no
more
should
see
Ô
amour,
mon
amour
! Si
je
ne
devais
plus
voir
Thyself,
nor
on
the
earth
the
shadow
of
thee,
Toi-même,
ni
l'ombre
de
toi
sur
la
terre,
Nor
image
of
thine
eyes
in
any
spring,
Ni
l'image
de
tes
yeux
dans
aucun
printemps,
How
then
should
sound
upon
Life's
darkening
slope
Comment
alors
sonnerait
sur
la
pente
sombre
de
la
Vie
The
ground-whirl
of
the
perished
leaves
of
Hope,
Le
tourbillon
au
sol
des
feuilles
fanées
de
l'Espoir,
The
wind
of
Death's
imperishable
wing?
Le
vent
de
l'aile
impérissable
de
la
Mort
?
