Reconnaissance

 

To Mademoiselle P...

 

One lone birch crepuscular

Paled on the sill of the horizon

Whither fled the measure angular

Of the heart to soul and reason

 

The blue gallop of recollections

Passes through the lilacs of your eyes

 

And the cannon of indolence

Shoot my dreams toward

  the

 skies

 

Guillaume Apollinaire
