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

Chœur des jeunes filles mortes en 1913
Language: French (Français) 
Quand les belles furent au bois 
Chacune tenait une rose 
Et voilà qu’on revient du bois 
N’avons plus rien entre les doigts 
  
Et les jeunes gens de naguère 
S’en vont ne se retournent pas 
Ceux qui nous aimèrent naguère 
Emportent la rose à la guerre 
  
Ô mort mène-nous dans le bois 
Pour retrouver la rose morte 
Et le rossignol dans le bois 
Chante toujours comme autrefois
