Analysis of Photographie

Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)



Ton sourire m'attire comme
    Pourrait m'attirer une fleur
    Photographie tu es le champignon brun
    De la forêt
    Qu'est sa beauté
    Les blancs y sont
    Un clair de lune
    Dans un jardin pacifique
    Plein d'eaux vives et de jardiniers endiablés
    Photographie tu es la fumée de l'ardeur
    Qu'est sa beauté
    Et il y a en toi
    Photographie
    Des tons alanguis
    On y entend
    Une mélopée
    Photographie tu es l'ombre
    Du Soleil
    Qu'est sa beauté
