Analysis of La blanche neige
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
Les anges les anges dans le ciel
L'un est vêtu en officier
L'un est vêtu en cuisinier
Et les autres chantent
Bel officier couleur du ciel
Le doux printemps longtemps après Noël
Te médaillera d'un beau soleil
D'un beau soleil
Le cuisinier plume les oies
Ah ! tombe neige
Tombe et que n'ai-je
Ma bien-aimée entre mes bras
