Nest ce pas quil est doux

Topics: classic

Is it not pleasant, now we are tired,     and tarnished, like other men, to search for those fires     in the furthest East, where, again, we might see     mornings new dawn, and, in mad history,     hear the echoes, that vanish behind us, the sighs     of the young loves, God gives, at the start of our lives?
