Part of a moon was falling down the west, Dragging the whole sky with it to the hills.
Le temps vole et m'emporte malgre moi; j'ai beau vouloir le retenir, c'est lui qui m'entra|"ne; et cette pense e me fait grande peur: vous devinez a' peu pre' s pourquoi. Time flies and takes me with it despite my efforts; I'd like to hold it back, but it keeps dragging me along and this thought frightens me greatly: you can perhaps guess why.
