Tout est muet, l\u2019oiseau ne jette plus ses cris.
\nLa morne plaine est blanche au loin sous le ciel gris.
\nSeuls, les grands corbeaux noirs, qui vont cherchant leurs proies,
\nFouillent du bec la neige et tachent sa p\u00e2leur.<\/p>\n
Voil\u00e0 qu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019horizon s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve une clameur ;
\nElle approche, elle vient, c\u2019est la tribu des oies.
\nAinsi qu\u2019un trait lanc\u00e9, toutes, le cou tendu,
\nAllant toujours plus vite, en leur vol \u00e9perdu,
\nPassent, fouettant le vent de leur aile sifflante.<\/p>\n
Le guide qui conduit ces p\u00e8lerins des airs
\nDel\u00e0 les oc\u00e9ans, les bois et les d\u00e9serts,
\nComme pour exciter leur allure trop lente,
\nDe moment en moment jette son cri per\u00e7ant.<\/p>\n
Comme un double ruban la caravane ondoie,
\nBruit \u00e9trangement, et par le ciel d\u00e9ploie
\nSon grand triangle ail\u00e9 qui va s\u2019\u00e9largissant.<\/p>\n
Mais leurs fr\u00e8res captifs r\u00e9pandus dans la plaine,
\nEngourdis par le froid, cheminent gravement.
\nUn enfant en haillons en sifflant les prom\u00e8ne,
\nComme de lourds vaisseaux balanc\u00e9s lentement.
\nIls entendent le cri de la tribu qui passe,
\nIls \u00e9rigent leur t\u00eate ; et regardant s\u2019enfuir
\nLes libres voyageurs au travers de l\u2019espace,
\nLes captifs tout \u00e0 coup se l\u00e8vent pour partir.
\nIls agitent en vain leurs ailes impuissantes,
\nEt, dress\u00e9s sur leurs pieds, sentent confus\u00e9ment,
\n\u00c0 cet appel errant se lever grandissantes
\nLa libert\u00e9 premi\u00e8re au fond du c\u0153ur dormant,
\nLa fi\u00e8vre de l\u2019espace et des ti\u00e8des rivages.
\nDans les champs pleins de neige ils courent effar\u00e9s,
\nEt jetant par le ciel des cris d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9s
\nIls r\u00e9pondent longtemps \u00e0 leurs fr\u00e8res sauvages.<\/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":[248],"poems-book":[475],"poemes-theme":[342,335,332],"poete":[474],"class_list":["post-10706","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-248","poems-book-des-vers","poemes-theme-animaux","poemes-theme-hiver","poemes-theme-voyage","poete-guy-de-maupassant"],"yoast_head":"\n
