Analysis of Automne
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
Dans le brouillard s'en vont un paysan cagneux
Et son boeuf lentement dans le brouillard d'automne
Qui cache les hameaux pauvres et vergogneux
Et s'en allant là-bas le paysan chantonne
Une chanson d'amour et d'infidélité
Qui parle d'une bague et d'un coeur que l'on brise
Oh! l'automne l'automne a fait mourir l'été
Dans le brouillard s'en vont deux silhouettes grises
