4. HAPPY THOUGHT INDEED (29:09)
5. A BIT OF READING (31:52)
Verlaine, 'Chanson d'Automne':
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l'automne
Blessent mon coeur
D'une langueur
Monotone.
Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
Sonne l'heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
Et je pleure;
Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
Qui m'emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
Feuille morte.
I found some rather nice rhymed English translations here.
