Originally called the Place de Louis Seize next the Place de la	A
Revolution where the perpetual guillotine stood	B
	-
	-
PROUD Seine along thy winding tide	C
Fair smiles yon plain expanding wide	C
And deckt with art and nature's pride	C
Seems formed for jocund revelry	D
	-
Scene formed the eye of taste to please	E
There splendid domes attention seize	E
There proudly towering spreading trees	E
Arise in beauteous rivalry	D
	-
But there's a place amidst that plain	F
Which bids its beauties beam in vain	F
Which wakes the inmost soul to pain	F
And prompts the throb of agony	D
	-
That place by day lo numbers fly	G
And shuddering start to see it nigh	G
Who there at midnight breathe the sigh	G
Of faithful suffering loyalty	D
	-
While blending with those loyal sighs	H
Oft times the patriot's murmurs rise	H
Who thither hid by darkness flies	H
To mourn the sons of liberty	D
	-
Lo as amidst that plain I stray	I
Methinks strange sadness shrouds the day	I
And clothed in slaughter's red array	I
Appears the scene of gayety	I
	-
For once that spot was dark with blood	I
There death's destroying engine stood	I
There streamed alas the vital flood	I
Of all that graced humanity	I
	-
Ah since this fair domain ye chose	J
Dread ruffians for your murderous blows	J
Could not the smiling scene unclose	J
Your hearts to love and charity	I
	-
No horrid contrast on that scene	K
The murderer reared his poniard keen	K
There proudly stalked with hideous mien	K
The blood stained sons of anarchy	I
	-
Nor Gallia shall thy varied mirth	L
Thy store of all that graces earth	L
Ere give a kind oblivion birth	L
To thy recorded cruelty	I
	-
In all thy pomp of charms and power	M
Earth can alas forget no more	N
The awful guilt that stains thy shore	N
With dies of sanguine tyranny	I
	-
Than they who see blue lightnings beam	O
Can ere forget though fair they seem	O
That danger lurks in every gleam	O
And death's appalling agency	I
