Translation of "Aloft" in French

I saw a flock of birds flying aloft.

J'ai vu une nuée d'oiseaux voler dans les airs.

- Those indignant winds grumble with a loud murmuring around the confines of the mountain; Aeolus sits in his high citadel, holding his scepter, and he soothes their spirits and tempers their rages: if he did not do this, they would surely snatch away seas and lands and the deep heaven itself, and sweep them off through the windy sky.
- They, in the rock reverberant held fast, / moan at the doors. Here, throned aloft, he reigns; / his sceptre calms their rage, their violence restrains: / else earth and sea and all the firmament / the winds together through the void would sweep.

S'agitant de fureur dans leurs prisons tremblantes, / ils luttent en grondant, ils s'indignent du frein. / Au haut de son rocher, assis le sceptre en main, / Éole leur commande ; il maîtrise, il tempère / du peuple impétueux l'indocile colère : / s'ils n'étaient retenus, soudain cieux, terre, mers, / devant eux rouleraient emportés dans les airs.
