Why snow enshrouds the World for all to see
The Earth as herald marks him as he goes
Salute! Farewell! Sir Patri du Chat Gris
Although I knew this day would shortly come
I feel my heart grow cold, my marrow freeze
As Carolingia frozen, I sit numb
Salute! Farewell! Sir Patri du Chat Gris
A Triple Peer, thrice worthy of acclaim,
For service, scholarship and chivalry
While fence or dance endure, so shall your fame
Salute! Farewell! Sir Patri du Chat Gris
So bow your heads as Borealis blows
And raise a glass in toast from sea to sea
We mark the great as he to Heaven goes
Salute! Farewell! Sir Patri du Chat Gris!
