Jour des Morts (Cimetière Montparnasse)
Language: English
Sweetheart, is this the last of all our posies And little festivals, my flowers are they But white and wistful ghosts of gayer roses Shut with you in this grim garden? Not to-day, Ah! no! come out with me before the grey gate closes It is your fête and here is your bouquet!
