And listened to the tender tune

Of nightingales,—Here lies Pierrot!

Our foolish vows of passion shook

The very stars, they trembled so.

How it comes back, her soft, shy look,

Now I am dead! Here lies Pierrot!

These other men and maids, who stroll

Through moonlit poplar trees arow,

Does each play the enchanted rôle

We phantoms played? Here lies Pierrot!
