A summer gale meanders by; With mellow voice it seems to sigh: 'O merry be — you soon may die." 140 SONGS OF A MAN WHO FAILED PLACE DE LA CONCORDE "I am the State!" and earth was play-ground of the kings. And men were low as brutes and creeping things. Crime, brutality, unbounded lust. Derided Law, debased humanity to dust. Here vengeance reached the cursed brood at last. And lecher, traitor, tyrant, fitly died. Let execrations on their graves be cast. Their loathsome memories be spurned aside.... ARC DE TRIOMPHE [Written in Paris in 1871.] Beneath this beauteous arc, From capitals on conquered European plains, Crowned haughtily with' bays of tumultuous war, The victor hosts of the great Napoleon came. Colossean scene of Glory's dang'rous dream — Arms, trophies, ferocious pomps, wild music of war. Upon this wide, imperial road rolled the guns That shook all Europe's thrones at Austerlitz. Ah! late has Time his bitter jest made o'er it all. Where strode the regal Corsican with Caesar's mien, The German kings their myriad banners wave.
