Clotilde

L'anèmone et l'ancolie
Ont, poussé dans le jardin
Où dort la mélancolie
Entre l'amour et le dédain

Il y vient aussi nos ombres 
Que la nuit dissipera 
Le soleil qui les rends sombres
Avec elles disparaîtra

Les déïtés des eaux vives
Laissent couler leurs cheveux
Passe, il faut que tu poursuive
Cette belle ombre que tu veux

by Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) [pseudonym] , "Clotilde", from Alcools, published 1913
