Flashes of the Guns – The Lock of Hair Found Again, Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire

He finds again in his memory
The lock of chestnut hair
Do you remember, past all believing
Our two strange destinies

Of the boulevard de la Chapelle
Of lovely Montmartre and Auteuil
I remember, she murmurs
Of the day I crossed your threshold

There fell into it like an autumn
The lock of my memory
And our destiny which astonishes you
Joins the day that is ending

Guillaume Apollinaire
