Roux, Paul de: The Cold Again (Encore le froid in English)

Portre of Roux, Paul de

Encore le froid (French)

Peupliers agités par le vent froid

dans la lumière basse, arasée,

la terre recluse en elle-même,

quelques feuilles encore sur le bouleau,

lampions éteints, un train passe au loin

évoquant le froid de la limaille,

la gare au courant d’air glacial

où l’on a accompagné un ami, où les quais vides

sont la piste crissante vers les étoiles cachées.

The Cold Again (English)

Poplars shaken in the cold wind,

in a low, curtailed light,

the earth withdrawn into itself,

a few dull leaves on the birch;

a remote train passes,

conveying the coldness of iron,

and the station with its icy winds

where you dropped off a friend, and where the empty

platform is a whistling track to the hidden stars.
