Annie

Guillaume Apollinaire - France

 

On the coast of Texas

Between Mobile and Galveston there is

A great big garden overgrown with roses

It also contains a villa

Which is one great rose

 

Often a woman walks

In the garden all alone

And when I pass on the lime-tree-bordered road

We look at each other

 

Since this woman belongs to the Mennonite sect

Her rose trees have no buds and her clothes no buttons

There are two missing from my jacket

This lady and I are almost of the same religion
