Guillaume Apollinaire Life Poems
- 1. In The Sante
I
Before I got into my cell
I had to strip my body bare
... - 2. Autumn Ill
Autumn ill and adored
You die when the hurricane blows in the roseries
When it has snowed
In the orchard trees
... - 3. Zone
At last you're tired of this elderly world
Shepherdess O Eiffel Tower this morning the bridges are bleating
... - 4. The Bestiary: Or Orpheus-s Procession
(Le Bestiaire ou Cortège dâ??Orphée)
Orpheus
... - 5. Autumn Crocuses
The meadow is poisonous but pretty in the autumn
The cows that graze there are slowly poisoned
Meadow-saffron the colour of lilac and of shadows
Under the eyes grows there your eyes are like those flowers
... - 6. Vitam Impendere Amori
(Vitam Impendere Amori: To Threaten Life for Love)
Love is dead within your arms
Do you remember his encounter
... - 7. Mirabeau Bridge
Under Mirabeau Bridge runs the Seine
And our loves
Must I remember them
Joy came always after pain
...
