The Poems and Prose Poems of Charles Baudelaire - Charles Baudelaire - Gece Kitaplığı

And near a waterless stream the piteous swan
Opened his beak, and bathing in the dust
His nervous wings, he cried (his heart the while
Filled with a vision of his own fair lake):
O water, when then wilt thou come in rain?
Lightning, when wilt thou glitter?
