Promenade Sentimental (Promenade sentimentale) by Paul Verlaine (1866); translated by Bergen Applegate (1916).

THE sunset darted its level beam
Where the wind-rocked water lilies dream;
The water lilies calm and pale
That shine where reeds are green and frail.
And I wandered alone with a heart full sore,
By the pool where the willows line the shore,
Where the vague mist wakened a phantom tall
That wept in the voice of the wild fowls' call,
When they beat their wings by the willows white
Where I wandered alone in the shrouding night
Through the shadows that drowned the level beam
Where the wind-rocked water lilies dream —
The water lilies calm and pale
That shine where the reeds are green and frail.
