Charles Trénet (1913-2001) puts music on the poem of Verlaine: Chanson d'automne (from Poèmes saturniens, 1866). The first words were also used in June 1944 to warn the French résistant groups of the upcoming Normandie landing. I wonder if they chose the words because of the song.
Lyrics (Paul Verlaine) Wheaton College offers the text said by Jean Claude Pascal but I much prefer the swing version of Trénet.
