I would return to Versailles
at the dawn of a calm morning
in the softness of a summer ,
offering itself to the seasons of love...
I'll find the fragrant rose gardens
well protected from the bad times...
I would return to Versailles
at the freshness of high waters...
The court dancing in the majestic
gallery of equivocals ...
All being harmony in this sleepy kingdom .
Our pretty queen playing shepherdess
in her doll's village,will welcome me :
'' Mes respects votre majesté ! ''
My fair sovereign ,I have just returned
from this trip into the future
where everything is chaos and madness !
You've never heard of this musical demesure
called Broadway !
In this empire I've seen towers collapse ,
junk fortunes and fame at the stake ...
I would return to Versailles,
in this summer before the ' 90 s...
My palace where the cannons fall silent ..
I'll find again the fickle heart
of carefree sycophants
turning in a shadow theater ..
I would return ,
but would I really find peace ?
................................................
Comte de Saint-Germain .Summer 1789.

Simply beautiful a wonderful and fanciful poem of a dreamy type
The castle of Versailles and its gardens is an enchanting place to be !
"The beauty of Versailles lies in its mystery: it remains an eternal illusion where everyone sees only what they want to see."
A beautiful poem!
Illusion leading to disaster .
