we′d

to

all
in
her

I
see
your
waist
is
slender,
your
fingers
they
are
small
Je
vois
que
ta
taille
est
mince,
tes
doigts
sont
petits
Your
cheeks
too
red
and
rosy
to
face
the
cannonball.
Tes
joues
trop
rouges
et
roses
pour
faire
face
au
boulet
de
canon.

the
cannonball.

it
would
not

me
tremble
to
see
ten
thousand
fall

cela
ne
me
ferait
pas
trembler
de
voir
dix
mille
tomber

to

The

being

she
went
and
looked
around

les
blessés,
son
garçon
chéri
elle
trouva

her
darling
boy

up
all
in
her
arms
and
carried
him
to
the
town

le
souleva
dans
