Farewell, false love, I took you for
The woman that I lost last year
Forever as I think:
I loved her but I will not see
Her any more in Germany.
O Milky Way, sister in whiteness
To Canaan's rivers and the bright
Bodies of lovers drowned,
Can we follow toilsomely
Your path to other nebulae?

Guillaume Apollinaire

Under Mirabeau Bridge flows the Seine.
Why must I be reminded again
Of our love?
Doesn't happiness issue from pain?
Bring on the night, ring out the hour.
The days wear on but I endure.

Guillaume Apollinaire

And love runs down like this
Water, love runs down.
How slow life is,
How violent hope is.

Guillaume Apollinaire

Nor days nor any time detain.
Time past or any love
Cannot come again.

Guillaume Apollinaire
