That's how the bon temps we regret
Among us, poor old idiots,
Squatting on our haunches, set
All in a heap like woollen lots
Round a hemp fire men forgot,
Soon kindled, and soon dust,
Once so lovely, that cocotte.

'
The weeping child could not be heard,
The weeping parents wept in vain:
They
stripped
him to his little shirt,
And bound him in an iron chain,
And burned him in a holy place
Where many had been burned before;
The weeping parents wept in vain.

There's never a moment's rest allowed:
Now here, now there, the changing breeze
Swings us, as it wishes, ceaselessly,
Beaks
pricking
us more than a cobbler's awl.

That soul will hate the ev'ning mist,
So often lovely, and will list
To the sound of the coming darkness (known
To those whose spirits hearken) as one
Who, in a dream of night, _would_ fly
But
_cannot_
from a danger nigh.
