Ma bougie brule a chaque bout;
Elle ne durera la nuit;
Mais ah, mes ennemis, et oh, mes amies-
Elle eclaire une belle lumiere.

I would like to translate this poem
Candle burns both end is true as per perception of life from closer aspects and this is metaphorically and humorously expressed. This poem, First Fig'. by Edna St. Vincent Millay(1892-1950) is interestingly beautifully translated here. Fig tree indicates that summer is nigh and enjoyment is in the air. This poem is excellent and nicely translated...10
