All here in one bed lay
Poem
La Nuit
La nuit
S’achève
Et Gui
Poursuit
Son rêve
Où tout
Est Lou
On est en guerre
Mais Gui
N’y pense guère
La nuit
S’étoile et la paille se dore
Il songe à Celle qu’il adore
Guillaume Apollinaire
Nightly Rest
Nightly
Rest draws to a close
But Gui
Follows
His reverie
Where the love of Lou
Alone is true
We are at war
But Gui
Cares no more
Nightly
Stars appear and golden turns the straw
He thinks of Her that he does adore
Guillaume Apollinaire (translation by Olivier Holmey)
