Dans Venise la rouge,
\nPas un bateau qui bouge,
\nPas un p\u00eacheur dans l\u2019eau,
\nPas un falot.<\/p>\n
Seul, assis \u00e0 la gr\u00e8ve,
\nLe grand lion soul\u00e8ve,
\nSur l\u2019horizon serein,
\nSon pied d\u2019airain.<\/p>\n
Autour de lui, par groupes,
\nNavires et chaloupes,
\nPareils \u00e0 des h\u00e9rons
\nCouch\u00e9s en ronds,<\/p>\n
Dorment sur l\u2019eau qui fume,
\nEt croisent dans la brume,
\nEn l\u00e9gers tourbillons,
\nLeurs pavillons.<\/p>\n
La lune qui s\u2019efface
\nCouvre son front, qui passe
\nD\u2019un nuage \u00e9toil\u00e9
\nDemi-voil\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Ainsi la dame abbesse
\nDe Sainte-Croix rabaisse
\nSa cape aux larges plis
\nSur son surplis.<\/p>\n
Et les palais antiques,
\nEt les graves portiques,
\nEt les blancs escaliers
\nDes chevaliers,<\/p>\n
Et les ponts, et les rues,
\nEt les mornes statues,
\nEt le golfe mouvant
\nQui tremble au vent,<\/p>\n
Tout se tait, fors les gardes
\nAux longues hallebardes,
\nQui veillent aux cr\u00e9neaux
\nDes arsenaux.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ah ! maintenant plus d\u2019une
\nAttend, au clair de lune,
\nQuelque jeune muguet,
\nL\u2019oreille au guet.<\/p>\n
Pour le bal qu\u2019on pr\u00e9pare,
\nPlus d\u2019une qui se pare,
\nMet devant son miroir
\nLe masque noir.<\/p>\n
Sur sa couche embaum\u00e9e,
\nLa Vanina p\u00e2m\u00e9e
\nPresse encor son amant,
\nEn s\u2019endormant ;<\/p>\n
Et Narcisa, la folle,
\nAu fond de sa gondole,
\nS\u2019oublie en un festin
\nJusqu\u2019au matin.<\/p>\n
Et qui, dans l\u2019Italie,
\nN\u2019a son grain de folie ?
\nQui ne garde aux amours
\nSes plus beaux jours ?<\/p>\n
Laissons la vieille horloge,
\nAu palais du vieux doge,
\nLui compter de ses nuits
\nLes longs ennuis.<\/p>\n
Comptons plut\u00f4t, ma belle,
\nSur ta bouche rebelle
\nTant de baisers donn\u00e9s\u2026
\nOu pardonn\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
Comptons plut\u00f4t tes charmes,
\nComptons les douces larmes,
\nQu\u2019\u00e0 nos yeux a co\u00fbt\u00e9
\nLa volupt\u00e9 !<\/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":[312],"poems-book":[472],"poemes-theme":[950,379,332],"poete":[205],"class_list":["post-10678","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-312","poems-book-premieres-poesies-musset","poemes-theme-lieu","poemes-theme-mer","poemes-theme-voyage","poete-alfred-de-musset"],"yoast_head":"\n
