Rest - Ralph Vaughan Williamstranslation in French




Rest
Repos
O Earth lie heavily upon her eyes;
Ô Terre, repose lourdement sur ses yeux ;
Seal her sweet eyes weary of watching, Earth.
Scelle ses doux yeux las de regarder, Terre.
Lie close around her,
Repose-toi près d'elle,
Leave no room for mirth with its harsh laughter,
Ne laisse pas de place à la joie avec son rire cruel,
Nor for sound of sighs.
Ni au son des soupirs.
She hath no questions, she hath no replies,
Elle n'a pas de questions, elle n'a pas de réponses,
Hushed in and curtained with a blessed dearth
Silencieuse et voilée d'une heureuse absence
Of all that irked her from her hour of birth;
De tout ce qui l'a tourmentée depuis sa naissance ;
With stillness that is almost Paradise.
Avec une quiétude qui est presque le Paradis.
Darkness more clear than noon-day holdeth her,
Les ténèbres plus claires que le midi la retiennent,
Silence more musical than any song;
Le silence plus musical que toute chanson ;
Even her very heart hath ceased to stir;
Même son cœur a cessé de battre ;
Until the morning of Eternity her rest shall not begin nor end,
Jusqu'au matin de l'Éternité son repos ne commencera ni ne finira,
But be, and when she wakes she will not think it long.
Mais sera, et quand elle se réveillera, elle ne le trouvera pas long.
