Les caresses des yeux apportent l'âme aux limites de l'être

Caresses of eyes are the most adorable
They bring the soul until bounds of the being
And tell secrets more ineffable,
In which only the bottom of the heart can appear.

The purest kisses are rude besides them
Their language is stronger than every word
Nothing can say, except it immortal things
Which enter at times into our trivial beings.

When the age fades the mouth and the smile
The fold of which slowly is filled of sadness
They still keep their limpid tenderness

Made to console, exhilarate and seduce,
They have sweetness, ardours and charms...
And what else caress went through the tears?
