End of the Day lyrics
by Charles Baudelaire
In fading light
Life dances, twists, and crazily rushes
Impudent and shrill, while
Night rises
Appeasing all, even hunger
Hiding all, even shame
The Poet whispers to himself:
Finally!
While body and soul
Long desperately for rest
My heart seethes with deathly dreams
Let me lie on my back
And enshroud myself in your curtains
O nourishing darkness!
