"Death and the Maiden" later appeared on the 1987 album Juvenilia, which was a collection of The Verlaines' early singles and EPs.

New Zealand rock band Elemeno P released a cover version of this song on their 2005 album Trouble in Paradise.

Boston band Prickly covered the song on their 1997 LP Velleity.

After going into a drunken rage, Verlaine shot his lover – fellow poet Arthur Rimbaud in July 1873.
