Original text with translation

Elle me dit: «Quelque chose
«Me tourmente.»
Et j’aperçus
Son cou de neige, et, dessus
Un petit insecte rose
J’aurais dû, — mais, sage ou fou
A seize ans, on est farouche, —
Voir le baiser sur sa bouche
Plus que l’insecte à son cou
On eût dit un coquillage;
Dos rose et taché de noir
Les fauvettes pour nous voir
Se penchaient dans le feuillage
Sa bouche fraîche était là;
Hélas!
Je me penchai sur la belle
Et je pris la coccinelle;
Mais le baiser s’envola
«Fils, apprends comme on me nomme,»
Dit l’insecte du ciel bleu
«Les bêtes sont au bon Dieu;
«Mais la bêtise est à l’homme.»
She said to me, "Something
"Torments me."
And I saw
Her neck of snow, and on it
A little pink bug
I should have, — but, wise or fool
At sixteen, one is fierce,—
See the kiss on her mouth
More than the insect around his neck
It looked like a seashell;
Pink and black spotted back
The warblers to see us
Leaned into the foliage
Her cool mouth was there;
Alas!
I bent over the beautiful
And I took the ladybug;
But the kiss flew away
"Son, learn as I am called,"
Said the blue sky insect
“The beasts belong to God;
"But stupidity belongs to the man."
