Sign, Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire

Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire Collection AlcoolsThemes Autumn, Life, LovePeriod 20th century

I am subject to the Chief of the Sign of Autumn
Leaving I love fruits I detest flowers
I regret each of the kisses I give
Like a walnut tree shaken by a pole tells the wind its sorrows

My eternal Autumn O my mental season
The hands of lovers of old lie strewn on your soil
A wife follows me it is my fatal shadow
The doves this evening take their final flight

Guillaume Apollinaire
