[00:00.00]I Have a Rendez-Vous with Death - Baptiste W. Hamon
[00:07.35]I have a rendezvous with death
[00:13.35]At some disputed barricade
[00:19.88]When spring comes back with rustling shade
[00:27.06]And apple blossoms fill the air
[00:33.00]I have a rendezvous with death
[00:39.62]When spring brings back blue days and fair
[00:50.95]It may be he shall take my hand
[00:56.93]And lead me into his dark land
[01:03.75]And close my eyes and quench my breath
[01:10.86]It may be I shall pass him still
[01:16.80]I have a rendezvous with death
[01:23.76]On some scarred slope of battered hill
[01:31.65]When spring comes round again this year
[01:39.56]And the first meadow flowers appear
[02:31.47]God knows it were better to be deep
[02:37.60]Pillowed in silk and scented down
[02:44.36]Where love throbs out in blissful sleep
[02:51.53]Pulse nigh to pulse
[02:53.86]And breath to breath
[02:58.51]Where hushed awakenings are dear
[03:05.79]But I've a rendezvous with death
[03:12.92]At midnight in some flaming town
[03:21.03]When spring trips north again this year
[03:29.30]And I to my pledged word am true
[03:37.37]And I shall not fail that rendezvous
