RIOUPÉROUX

by: James Elroy Flecker (1884-1919)

      IGH and solemn mountains guard Rioupéroux
      --Small untidy village where the river drives a mill--
      Frail as wood anemones, white and frail were you,
      And drooping a little, like the slender daffodil.
       
      O I will go to France again, and tramp the valley through,
      And I will change these gentle clothes for clog and corduroy,
      And work with the mill-hands of black Rioupéroux,
      And walk with you, and talk with you, like any other boy.
