Перевод стихотворения
«Bien loin d’ici»
на английский язык.

Very far from here

This is the sacred dwelling
In which that much adorned maiden
Calm and always prepared

Listens to the fountains weeping,
Fanning her breast with her hand,
Her elbow resting on the cushions;

It's the bedroom of Dorothy.
— Far off the breeze and waters sing
Their broken, sobbing song
To lull to sleep this pampered child.

From head to foot, with greatest care
Her delicate skin is polished
With perfumed oil and benzoin.
— Flowers swoon in a corner.

Ever so far from here

This is the house, the sacred box,
Where, always draped in languorous frocks,
And always at home if someone knocks,

One elbow into the pillow pressed,
She lies, and lazily fans her breast,
While fountains weep their soulfullest:

This is the chamber of Dorothy.
— Fountain and breeze for her alone
Sob in that soothing undertone.
Was ever so spoiled a harlot known?

With odorous oils and rosemary,
Benzoin and every unguent grown,
Her skin is rubbed most delicately.
— The flowers are faint with ecstasy.

Bien loin d’ici

C’est ici la case sacrée
Où cette fille très-parée,
Tranquille et toujours préparée,

D’une main éventant ses seins,
Et son coude dans les coussins,
Écoute pleurer les bassins ;

C’est la chambre de Dorothée.
— La brise et l’eau chantent au loin
Leur chanson de sanglots heurtée
Pour bercer cette enfant gâtée.

Du haut en bas, avec grand soin,
Sa peau délicate est frottée
D’huile odorante et de benjoin.
— Des fleurs se pâment dans un coin.
