IMPRESSION FAUSSE
Gertrude Hall Brownell translation
Dame mouse patters Black against the shadow grey; Dame mouse patters Grey against the black. Hear the bed-time bell! Sleep forthwith, good prisoners; Hear the bed-time bell! You must go to sleep. No disturbing dream! Think of nothing but your loves: No disturbing dream, Of the fair ones think! Moonlight clear and bright! Some one of the neighbors snores; Moonlight clear and bright— He is troublesome. Comes a pitchy cloud Creeping o'er the faded moon; Comes a pitchy cloud— See the grey dawn creep! Dame mouse patters Pink across an azure ray; Dame mouse patters.... Sluggards, up! 'tis day!
