~Pont Alexandre III~

Most ornate, refined and sumptuous among Bridges

Mystic, glowing Fames beckon; a drastic change from the

majestic allegories in the glaring sun.

Bow your heads

Shield your eyes with your hand

A beautiful Bridge,

from this world to the next,

Grants Peace to those who cross

and Comfort to those who watch.

Exuberant Lights guide

from the Arts and Sciences to Les Invalides where ghosts hide.

People flock to this bridge,

the best lit of them all,

to be delivered to their destiny.

The dark night here is more menacing than elsewhere

Of course it evokes thoughts of death.

As conveyor belt to the Scenic world.

A brightly lit journey,

the most beautiful bridge in existence,

and a final Resting place

for the Most Illustrious.
