Invitation to the Voyage

Charles Baudelaire · 1857

My child, my sister, Think of the rapture Of living together there! Of loving at will, Of loving till death, In the land that is like you!

The misty sunlight Of those cloudy skies Has for my spirit the charms, So mysterious, Of your treacherous eyes, Shining brightly through their tears.

There all is order and beauty, Luxury, peace, and pleasure.
