Chez-nous il existe une rue des ancêtres
Où des mémoires suspendues à un siècle de souvenances
Racontent l'existence de gens qui ont passé
Où leurs temps nous rejoignent, orphelins des vieux jours
Gérald Mercier, extrait du recueil de poèmes,
L'assise paru en 2005
Back home there is a street of our forebears
Where memories clinging to a century of remembrance
Tell of those who travelled by
Where they reach out to us, orphans of the past.
Gérald Mercier, from the collection of poems, The seat appeared in 2005
