<div class="verse">
:An eagle descends from this sky white with archangels
:And you sustain me
:Let them tremble a long while all these lamps
:Pray pray for me


:The city’s metallic and it’s the only star
:Drowned in your blue eyes
:When the tramways run spurting pale fire
:Over the twittering birds


:And all that trembles in your eyes of my dreams
[[Category:Works originally in French]]
:That a lonely man drinks
[[Category:Guillaume Apollinaire]]
:Under flames of gas red like a false dawn
:O clothed your arm is lifted
 
:See the speaker stick his tongue out at the listeners
:A phantom has committed suicide
:The apostle of the fig-tree hangs and slowly rots
:Let us play this love out then to the end
 
:Bells with clear chimes announce your birth
:See
:The streets are garlanded and the palms advance
:Towards thee
