Analysis of Un soir d'été
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
Le Rhin
Qui coule
Un train
Qui roule
Des nixes blanches
Sont en prière
Dans la bruyère
Toutes les filles
À la fontaine
J'ai tant de peine
J'ai tant d'amour
Dit la plus belle
Qu'il soit fidèle
Et moi je l'aime
Dit sa marraine
J'ai la migraine
À la fontaine
J'ai tant de haine
