ILS NE VIEILLIRONT PAS COMME NOUS, QUI LEUR AVONS SURVECU.
ILS NE CONNAITRONT JAMAIS L'OUTRAGE NI LE POIDS DES ANS
QUAND VIENDRA L'HEURE DE CREPUSCULE ET CELLE DE L'AURORE.
NOUS NOUS SOUVIENDRONS D'EUX
THEY SHALL GROW NOT OLD AS WE THAT ARE LEFT, GROW OLD
AGE SHALL NOT WEARY THEM, NOR THE YEARS CONDEMN.
AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN, AND IN THE MORNING
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
LE TRIAIRE.
