R.I.P. Charles Aznavour (1924-2018)

Icon of three generations
Constantly on radio stations
With a voice that touched one's soul
It is for thee the bells now toll
Departing life aged ninety-four
The one and only Aznavour...

Son of Armenian refugees
Songwriter, poet – both of these
Charles captured France's sweet tristesse
Love's poignant moments he sang best:
'La Mamma', 'La Bohème' and 'She'
Much loved, much missed - by you and me ...

(c) Poet in the woods 2018



Died 1st October, 2018
