Analysis of Pour Madeleine Seule
Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)
Lune candide vous brillez moins que les hanches
De mon amour
Aubes que j'admire vous êtes moins blanches
Aubes que chaque jour
J'admire ô hanches si blanches
Il y a le reflet de votre blancheur
Au fond de cet aluminium
Dont on fait des bagues
Dans cette zone où règne la blancheur
O hanches si blanches.
