by Wilhelm Albert Włodzimierz Apolinary Kostrowicki (1880 - 1918), as Guillaume Apollinaire

La boucle retrouvée
Language: French (Français) 
Il retrouve dans sa mémoire
La boucle de cheveux châtains
T'en souvient-il à n'y point croire
De nos deux étranges destins

Du boulevard de la Chapelle
Du joli Montmartre et d'Auteuil
Je me souviens murmure-t-elle
Du jour où j'ai franchi ton seuil

Il y tomba comme un automne
La boucle de mon souvenir
Et notre destin qui t'étonne
Se joint au jour qui va finir

R. Caby sets stanzas 1-2
