ПОЕЗИЈА

Мирна као мрамор, хладна као сена,
Ти си бледо тихо девојче што снева.
Пусти песма других нека буде жена,
Што по нечистим улицама пева.

Ја не мећем на те ђинђуве са траком,
Него жуте руже у те косе дуге:
Буди одвећ лепа да се свиђаш сваком,
Одвећ горда да би живела за друге.

Буди одвећ тужна са сопствених јада,
Да би ишла икад да тешиш ко страда,
А чедна, да водиш гомиле што нагле.

И стој равнодушна, док око твог тела,
Место китњастог и раскошног одела,
Лебди само прамен тајанствене магле.

POESIE

Calme comme le marbre, froide comme une ombre,
Tu es une jeune fille pâle, rêveuse ;
Que la poésie des autres soit une femme,
Qui chante dans les rues souillées.

Je ne te pare point de faux bijoux enrubannés,
Mais je mets des roses jaunes dans tes longs cheveux ;
Sois trop belle pour plaire à chacun,
Trop altière pour vivre pour les autres.

Sois trop affligée de tes propres chagrins
Pour vouloir consoler ceux qui souffrent,
Trop chaste pour mener les foules qui se hâtent.

Sois impassible, tandis qu’autour de ton corps,
Au lieu du costume barriolé, somptueux,
Flotte un halo solitaire de brume mystérieuse.
