Ami z, tu m\u2019es pr\u00e9sent en cette solitude.
\nQuand le ciel, mon probl\u00e8me, et l\u2019homme, mon \u00e9tude,
\nQuand le travail, ce ma\u00eetre auguste et s\u00e9rieux,
\nQuand les songes sereins, profonds, imp\u00e9rieux,
\nQui tiennent jour et nuit ma pens\u00e9e en extase,
\nMe laissent, dans cette ombre o\u00f9 Dieu souffle et m\u2019embrase,
\nUn instant dont je puis faire ce que je veux,
\nJe me tourne vers toi, penseur aux blancs cheveux,
\nVers toi, l\u2019homme qu\u2019on aime et l\u2019homme qu\u2019on r\u00e9v\u00e8re,
\nPo\u00e8te souriant, historien s\u00e9v\u00e8re !
\nJe repasse, bonheur pourtant bien incomplet,
\nPar tous les doux sentiers d\u2019un souvenir qui pla\u00eet.
\nTon Henri, – ton fils Pierre ami de mon fils Charles,
\n– Et ta femme, – ange heureux qui r\u00eave quand tu parles,
\nJe me rappelle tout: ton salon, tes discours,
\nEt nos longs entretiens qui font les soirs si courts,
\nTon v\u00e9n\u00e9rable amour que jamais rien n\u2019\u00e9mousse
\nPour toute belle chose et toute chose douce !
\nMaint po\u00e8me charmant que nous disait ta voix
\nM\u2019appara\u00eet… – Mon esprit, admirant \u00e0 la fois
\nTant de jours sur ton front, tant de gr\u00e2ce en ton style,
\nCroit voir un patriarche au milieu d\u2019une idylle !<\/p>\n
Ainsi tu n\u2019es jamais loin de mon \u00e2me, et puis
\nTout me parle de toi dans ces champs o\u00f9 je suis ;
\nJe compare, en mon coeur que ton ombre accompagne,
\nTa verte po\u00e9sie et la fra\u00eeche campagne ;
\nJe t\u2019\u00e9voque partout; il me semble souvent
\nQue je vais te trouver dans quelque coin r\u00eavant,
\nEt que, dans le bois sombre ouvrant ses ailes blanches,
\nTon vers jeune et vivant chante au milieu des branches.
\nJe m\u2019attends \u00e0 te voir sous un arbre endormi.
\nJe dis: o\u00f9 donc est-il ? et je m\u2019\u00e9crie : – Ami,
\nQue tu sois dans les champs, que tu sois \u00e0 la ville,
\nSalut ! bois un lait pur, b\u00e9nis Dieu, lis Virgile !
\nQue le ciel rayonnant, o\u00f9 Dieu met sa clart\u00e9,
\nTe verse au coeur la joie et la s\u00e9r\u00e9nit\u00e9 !<\/p>\n
Qu\u2019il fasse \u00e0\u2019 tout passant ta demeure sacr\u00e9e !
\nQu\u2019autour de ta vieillesse aimable et v\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9e,
\nIl accroisse, tenant -tout ce qu\u2019il t\u2019a promis,
\nTa famille d\u2019enfants, ta famill\u00e9 d\u2019amis !
\nQue le sourire heureux, te soit toujours facile !
\nDoux vieillard ! noble esprit ! sage tendre et tranquille !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"annee":[457],"poems-book":[456],"poemes-theme":[333],"poete":[206],"class_list":["post-10377","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-457","poems-book-derniere-gerbe","poemes-theme-amitie","poete-victor-hugo"],"yoast_head":"\n
