about

I read an article about Maud Gonne- William Butler Yeats' first wife, who was a spiritualist and believed that if she had sex at the grave of her dead baby, with the babies father, that the soul of the baby would be reincarnated into the new baby. I was blown away by this.. I tried to find lyrics that would describe this whole endeavour but alas I couldn't- it ended up being a simple waltzy goodbye song instead.

lyrics

Samois-sur-Seine

Just south of Paris where the tender reeds bend
In the riverside town of Samois-sur-Seine
Inside the chapel high on a heath
there lies my son in the crypt underneath

Sometimes I go there to mourn and weep
Lay a white lilly at the foot of his grave
Praying my prayers to God above
Light a little candle for the one I love

Meet me in the chapel in Samois-sur-Seine
where the willow trees bow and the tender reeds bend
Memories of you I'll never forget
Goodbye for now Samois-sur-Seine

I'll be returning to see you my dear
back to this place year after year
for now I'll be leaving for now I must go
I'll love you more than you'll ever know

Goodbye to you love hard as it will be
I'll think of you often and pray for thee
if there's a heaven up in the air
when my time comes I'm meeting you there
