My days are done.
Echoes from the end; January 20 1793 Louis XVI sat alone in his cold chamber.
Tomorrow would be the end.
He penned his thoughts.
L'obscurité arrive alors que le soleil tombe du ciel occidental.
Les oiseaux se taisent. La journée est finie.
Le silence bruyant dans le calme de la nuit et l'air se refroidit. La journée est finie.
Seul dans le silence. Les lumières scintillent alors que le passé s'assombrit. La journée est finie.
Souvenez-vous de moi pour les bonnes actions que j'ai faites. Pardonnez mes défauts; Je n'en ferai plus, maintenant mes jours sont terminés.
Ma vie se tait, se souvenant ou oubliant. Ma journée est terminée.
Ce n'est qu'avec les yeux fermés et l'esprit ouvert que vous pouvez entendre mes pas silencieux et les échos dérivants de mon passé.
Mes journées sont terminées.
{The dark arrives as the sun drops from the western sky.
The birds fall silent. The day is done.
The silence loud in the still of night and the air grows cold. The day is done.
Alone in the silence. The lights flicker as the past grows dimmer. The day is done.
Remember me for the good deeds I’ve done. Forgive my failings; I will do no more, now my days are done.
My life falls silent, remembering or forgetting. My day is done.
Only with eyes closed and mind open can you hear my silent footsteps and the drifting echoes of my past.
My days are done.}
