Far-away Paris

This came to me this morning, but then I took too long working on it and the outcome was not what I expected.

Long lost City of Lights

That has been dearly missed

With its countless delights

It's lost in time's white mist

And I won't go back there

That town where I was kissed

Where I went to a fair

In the City of Love

Now the fair street is bare

In that site stands above

A tower of pure steel

That's one sight I think of

A token fate did steal

The last mem'ry I had

Of a trip most ideal

It will get off my head

Like the moon gets off sight

I'll travel home instead
