soleil
brille
à

White

Over

est
venu
un

Sack
on

Wild

in

fleurs
sauvages
dans
la

Old

'bedded
in

De
vieilles
canettes
rouillées,
des
cailloux
enfoncés
dans
le

méditant
et
errant
Along
Le

Nice
as
you

vient
le
voyageur
Drinking
a

of

in
his
hand
Buvant
une
bouteille
de
lait
dans
sa
main
Speaking
to
no
one
in
particular
but
happily
Ne
parlant
à
personne
en
particulier,
mais
heureusement
Down
where
young
gulls
dance
driftwood
lying
drying
Là
où
de
jeunes
mouettes
dansent,
le
bois
flotté
sèche
For
the
fire
Pour
le
feu

and

the

le
matin
étant
