Alcools ~ Acrobats
written by Guillaume Apollinaire, translated by A. S. Kline
Alcools : Saltimbanques.



The strollers in the plain
Walk the length of gardens
Before the doors of grey inns
Through villages without churches

And the children gone before
The others follow dreaming
Each fruit tree resigns itself
When they signal from afar

They have burdens round or square
Drums and golden tambourines
Apes and bears wise animals
Gather coins as they progress
