You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.This poem has also been set to music by Reynaldo Hahn, Gustave Charpentier and Alain Jacques. The poem, dated 1865, is famous for the terse magic of its 4-syllable verses which, in French, create a sound and a rhythm expressing so well the feelings evoked by the words. Despite the impossibility to render this in English I still have, hereafter, given a literal translation. Translation (AJ): The long sobs Of the violins Of autumn Wound my heart With a languor Monotonous.
All suffocating And pale when The hour strikes I remember The old days And weep
And I leave In the ill wind that carries me Hither and thither Like the Dead leaf.
