I<\/p>\n
De toutes les belles choses
\nQui nous manquent en hiver,
\nQu\u2019aimez-vous mieux ? \u2013 Moi, les roses ;
\n\u2013 Moi, l\u2019aspect d\u2019un beau pr\u00e9 vert ;
\n\u2013 Moi, la moisson blondissante,
\nChevelure des sillons ;
\n\u2013 Moi, le rossignol qui chante ;
\n\u2013 Et moi, les beaux papillons !<\/p>\n
Le papillon, fleur sans tige,
\nQui voltige,
\nQue l\u2019on cueille en un r\u00e9seau ;
\nDans la nature infinie,
\nHarmonie
\nEntre la plante et l\u2019oiseau !\u2026<\/p>\n
Quand revient l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 superbe,
\nJe m\u2019en vais au bois tout seul :
\nJe m\u2019\u00e9tends dans la grande herbe,
\nPerdu dans ce vert linceul.
\nSur ma t\u00eate renvers\u00e9e,
\nL\u00e0, chacun d\u2019eux \u00e0 son tour,
\nPasse comme une pens\u00e9e
\nDe po\u00e9sie ou d\u2019amour !<\/p>\n
Voici le papillon \u00ab faune \u00bb,
\nNoir et jaune ;
\nVoici le \u00ab mars \u00bb azur\u00e9,
\nAgitant des \u00e9tincelles
\nSur ses ailes
\nD\u2019un velours riche et moir\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Voici le \u00ab vulcain \u00bb rapide,
\nQui vole comme un oiseau :
\nSon aile noire et splendide
\nPorte un grand ruban ponceau.
\nDieux ! le \u00ab soufr\u00e9 \u00bb, dans l\u2019espace,
\nComme un \u00e9clair a relui\u2026
\nMais le joyeux \u00ab nacr\u00e9 \u00bb passe,
\nEt je ne vois plus que lui !<\/p>\n
II<\/p>\n
Comme un \u00e9ventail de soie,
\nIl d\u00e9ploie
\nSon manteau sem\u00e9 d\u2019argent ;
\nEt sa robe bigarr\u00e9e
\nEst dor\u00e9e
\nD\u2019un or verd\u00e2tre et changeant.<\/p>\n
Voici le \u00ab machaon-z\u00e8bre \u00bb,
\nDe fauve et de noir ray\u00e9 ;
\nLe \u00ab deuil \u00bb, en habit fun\u00e8bre,
\nEt le \u00ab miroir \u00bb bleu stri\u00e9 ;
\nVoici l’ \u00bbargus \u00bb, feuille-morte,
\nLe \u00ab morio \u00bb, le \u00ab grand-bleu \u00bb,
\nEt le \u00ab paon-de-jour \u00bb qui porte
\nSur chaque aile un oeil de feu !<\/p>\n
Mais le soir brunit nos plaines ;
\nLes \u00ab phal\u00e8nes \u00bb
\nPrennent leur essor bruyant,
\nEt les \u00ab sphinx \u00bb aux couleurs sombres,
\nDans les ombres
\nVoltigent en tournoyant.<\/p>\n
C\u2019est le \u00ab grand-paon \u00bb \u00e0 l\u2019oeil rose
\nDessin\u00e9 sur un fond gris,
\nQui ne vole qu\u2019\u00e0 nuit close,
\nComme les chauves-souris ;
\nLe \u00ab bombice \u00bb du tro\u00ebne,
\nRay\u00e9 de jaune et de vent,
\nEt le \u00ab papillon du ch\u00eane \u00bb
\nQui ne meurt pas en hiver !\u2026<\/p>\n
Voici le \u00ab sphinx \u00bb \u00e0 la t\u00eate
\nDe squelette,
\nPeinte en blanc sur un fond noir,
\nQue le villageois redoute,
\nSur sa route,
\nDe voir voltiger le soir.<\/p>\n
Je hais aussi les \u00ab phal\u00e8nes \u00bb,
\nSombres h\u00f4tes de la nuit,
\nQui voltigent dans nos plaines
\nDe sept heures \u00e0 minuit ;
\nMais vous, papillons que j\u2019aime,
\nL\u00e9gers papillons de jour,
\nTout en vous est un embl\u00e8me
\nDe po\u00e9sie et d\u2019amour !<\/p>\n
III<\/p>\n
Malheur, papillons que j\u2019aime,
\nDoux embl\u00e8me,
\nA vous pour votre beaut\u00e9 !\u2026
\nUn doigt, de votre corsage,
\nAu passage,
\nFroisse, h\u00e9las ! le velout\u00e9 !\u2026<\/p>\n
Une toute jeune fille
\nAu coeur tendre, au doux souris,
\nPer\u00e7ant vos coeurs d\u2019une aiguille,
\nVous contemple, l\u2019oeil surpris :
\nEt vos pattes sont coup\u00e9es
\nPar l\u2019ongle blanc qui les mord,
\nEt vos antennes crisp\u00e9es
\nDans les douleurs de la mort !\u2026<\/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":[440],"poems-book":[501],"poemes-theme":[342,388],"poete":[517],"class_list":["post-11232","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-440","poems-book-odelettes","poemes-theme-animaux","poemes-theme-ete","poete-gerard-de-nerval"],"yoast_head":"\n
