Description
The spirit drank the cafŽ lights;
All the hot life that glittered there,
And heard men say to women gay,
'Life is just so in France'.
The spirit dreams of cafŽ lights,
And golden faces and soft tones,
And hears men groan to broken men,
'This is not Life in France'.
Heaped stones and a charred signboard
show
With grass between and dead folk under,
And some birds sing, while the spirit takes
wing.
And this is Life in France.
All the hot life that glittered there,
And heard men say to women gay,
'Life is just so in France'.
The spirit dreams of cafŽ lights,
And golden faces and soft tones,
And hears men groan to broken men,
'This is not Life in France'.
Heaped stones and a charred signboard
show
With grass between and dead folk under,
And some birds sing, while the spirit takes
wing.
And this is Life in France.
