L'avenir
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
Soulevons la paille
Regardons la neige
Écrivons des lettres
Attendons des ordres
Fumons la pipe
En songeant à l'amour
Les gabions sont là
Regardons la rose
La fontaine n'a pas tari
Pas plus que l'or de la paille ne s'est terni
Regardons l'abeille
Et ne songeons pas à l'avenir
Regardons nos mains
Qui sont la neige
La rose et l'abeille
Ainsi que l'avenir
