Lyrics and translation Robert Herrick - Epitaph Upon a Child That Died




Epitaph Upon a Child That Died
Épitaphe pour un enfant décédé
Here she lies, a pretty bud
Voici qu'elle repose, un joli bourgeon
Lately made of flesh and blood
Récemment fait de chair et de sang
Who as soon fell fast asleep
Qui s'est endormi aussi vite
As her little eyes did peep
Que ses petits yeux ont entrevu la lumière
Give her strewings, but not stir
Donne-lui des fleurs, mais ne remue pas
The earth that lightly covers her
La terre qui la recouvre légèrement
