Poems for Sir Ernst
In the footsteps of Charcot
The third Antarctic expedition has begun;
The adventurers have passed Cape Verde.
In the footsteps of Charcot, on their sailing boat,
They make “their life a dream and their dream a reality”.
Adventures in the ice
Our lessons have travelled across the ice
Phrases brushing against icebergs
Letters drowned in their tracks in a trice.
The work floated over the seas,
Le Pourquoi Pas took over the fleet,
And the sky touched the earth,
But no caves for shelter did we meet.
The Sir Ernst has left for the Antarctic
To discover the albatross and condor,
The Jeune-Hardie was in the Arctic
As was Paul-Emile Victor.
Adventure in the ice
Our ideas have travelled,
So many miles and kilometres,
That we are a little unravelled
Faced with what you are doing.
You are all so brave and fearless
To go to winter down there!
Like Charcot you are gallant and peerless,
Myself, I would not dare.
She is sailing, your beau bateau
You will arrive in the Bay of Marguerite
To see the animaux
Of the Antarctic.
A winter in the ice
Sir Ernst is sailing.
At the port of Sanary
We waved and smiled for them to see.
They are testing their courage
Throughout the voyage
And to date are still taking risks in the waves.
