What counsel has the hooded moon

What counsel has the hooded moon
Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,
Of Love in ancient plenilune,
Glory and stars beneath his feet -- -
A sage that is but kith and kin
With the comedian Capuchin?
Believe me rather that am wise
In disregard of the divine,
A glory kindles in those eyes
Trembles to starlight. Mine, O Mine!
No more be tears in moon or mist
For thee, sweet sentimentalist.

Quel conseil la lune encapuchonnée
Language:
French
Quel conseil la lune encapuchonnée
A-t-elle posé dans ton cœur, ma douce timide,
Au sujet de l'amour, en une ancienne pleine lune,
Gloire et étoiles sous ses pieds --
Une sage qui n'est rien d'autre qu'amie et parente
Avec le comédien Capucin ?
Crois-moi plutôt qui suis sage
En mépris du divin,
Un éclat s'allume dans ces yeux,
Tremble à la lumière des étoiles. Mienne, ô mienne !
Plus de larmes sous la lune ou dans la brume
Pour toi, ma douce sentimentale.
