Des pas dans l'allée by Camille Saint-Saëns, text by Maurice Boukay. Allegra Martin, Conductor. Nov. 13, 2016 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Translation:
Fall, memories, fall leaf by leaf,
make a carpet of your dying gold.
The flowers will return to weep their scents.
But shall we see again the one who gathers them?
Into what silence, along what road
did she pass one fine evening?

Sleep, golden leaves, amidst the avenue,
keep in your folds the imprint of her steps.
This one, more tired and bowed down,
brought her soul down closer to me, though I mistook it.
Into what silence, along what road
did she pass one fine evening?

Fall, memories! Slide leaf over leaf,
cover her steps with your dying gold.
Other flowers will come to weep their scents!
But she who gathers them will not come again!
Into what silence, along what road
did she pass one fine evening?
