a Paul Verlaine.
Scaramouches and Pucinella
Cast one shadow on the mellow
Night, and kiss against the sky
And the doctor of Bogona
In his skull cap and kimono
Seeks for simples with pale avid eye
While his daughter half naked
Glides trembling from her narrow bed
To meet her lover waiting in the moon
Her lover from the Spanish Main
Whose passion thrills her with a strain
La lune ne garde aucune rancune
