Of France's favourite son, a face
Well known to all, whose haunting song
Brought solace to the grieving throng.
Aznavour caught the Nation's mood
His poignant words were never crude
He captured in a unique way
The human soul in raw display.
France gave his parents a new home
He made the Gallic tongue his own
Macron, French President, was wise;
He said «A Poet never dies!»
(c) Poet in the woods 2018
Charles Aznavour (1924-2018) Died: 1.10.18. Funeral: 5.10.2018
