<div class="verse">
<pre>
The gypsy knew in advance
Our two lives star-crossed by night
We said farewell to her and then
from that deep well Hope began


Love heavy a performing bear
Danced upright when we wanted
And the blue bird lost his plumes
And the beggars lost their Ave


We knew quite well that we were damned
{{DEFAULTSORT:Gypsy}}
But hope of love in the street
[[Category:Guillaume Apollinaire]]
Made us think hand in hand
[[Category:Works originally in French]]
Of what the Gypsy did foresee
