The French poem from which I translated this has no punctuation either

Here are the first 6 lines in French, I've put punctuation marks in parentheses where they would normally be as prescribed by French writing conventions but aren't:

Sous le pont Mirabeau coule la Seine(,)
Et nos amours(,)
Faut-il qu'il m'en souvienne(?)
La joie venait toujours après la peine(.)

Vienne la nuit(,) sonne l'heure(.)
Les jours s'en vont(,) je demeure(.)

Yes, it's lyrical.
