"Vive Jesus! / Vive Jesus! / Avec la croix, son cher partage. / Vive Jesus! / Dans les coeurs de tous les elus! / Portons la croix. / Sans choix, sans ennui, sans murmure, / Portons la croix! / Quoique tres amere et tres dure, / Malgre les sens et la nature, / Portons la croix! " / -- _Acadien Song._
Charlitte had been in his grave for nearly two years. He slept peacefully in the little green cemetery hard by the white church where a slender, sorrowful woman came twice every week to hear a priest repeat masses for the repose of his soul.
