Yes, " The Sky is above the roof, so blue, so calm" said Verlaine and Renaldo Hahn put it to music, it sounds so simple so true to ordinary life though Paul Verlaine was writing this delicate poem while in prison for violence and abuse in 1875.
In 1935 young Tino Rossi with a clear elegant tenor voice sang it and recorded it. He was a fine singer and musician. Another treasure for today.
