Paris
Language: English
City of charm, City of desire! City of immortal dreams! of eternal fire! Burn into the hearts of men, that thy light may never fade! Give of thy beauty, Of thy hope inspired, passion-made! Youth, Joy, and Love, are knocking at thy gates; Let them in! To dream their rarest dreams In thy fair arms! City of charm, May they ever linger among thy shadows! City of desire!
