Le Revenant (French)
Charles Baudelaire
1821 to 1867
Comme les anges à l'oeil fauve,
Je reviendrai dans ton alcôve
Et vers toi glisserai sans bruit
Avec les ombres de la nuit;
Et je te donnerai, ma brune,
Des baisers froids comme la lune
Et des caresses de serpent
Autour d'une fosse rampant.
Quand viendra le matin livide,
Tu trouveras ma place vide,
Où jusqu'au soir il fera froid.
Comme d'autres par la tendresse,
Sur ta vie et sur ta jeunesse,
Moi, je veux régner par l'effroi.
Charles Baudelaire's Le Revenant
I am busy working to bring Charles Baudelaire's "Le Revenant" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Charles Baudelaire's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Le Revenant" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
