Piti\u00e9 de moi ! j\u2019\u00e9tais l\u2019eau douce ;
\nUn jour j\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 la mer ;
\n\u00c0 pr\u00e9sent j\u2019ai le go\u00fbt amer,
\nQuelque part que le vent me pousse.<\/p>\n
Ah ! qu\u2019il en allait autrement
\nQuand, l\u00e9g\u00e8re comme la gaze
\nParmi mes bulles de topaze
\nJe m\u2019agitais joyeusement.<\/p>\n
Nul bruit n\u2019accostait une oreille
\nD\u2019un salut plus d\u00e9licieux
\nQue mon cristal m\u00e9lodieux
\nDans sa ruisselante merveille.<\/p>\n
L\u2019oiseau du ciel, sur moi pench\u00e9,
\nM\u2019aimait plus que l\u2019eau du nuage,
\nQuand mon flot, plein de son image,
\nLavait son gosier dess\u00e9ch\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Le po\u00ebte errant qui me loue
\nDisait un jour qu\u2019il m\u2019a parl\u00e9 :
\n\u00ab Tu sembles le rire perl\u00e9
\nD\u2019un enfant qui jase et qui joue.<\/p>\n
Moi, je suis l\u2019ardent voyageur
\nInclin\u00e9 sur ta nappe humide,
\nQui te jure, \u00f4 ruisseau limpide,
\nDe b\u00e9nir partout ta fra\u00eecheur. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u2014 Doux voyageur, si ta m\u00e9moire
\nS\u2019abreuve de mon souvenir,
\nB\u00e9nis Dieu d\u2019avoir pu me boire,
\nMais d\u00e9fends-toi de revenir.<\/p>\n
Mon cristal limpide et sonore
\nO\u00f9 s\u2019\u00e9talait le cresson vert
\nDans les cailloux ne coule encore
\nQue sourdement, comme l\u2019hiver.<\/p>\n
L\u2019oiseau dont la soif est tromp\u00e9e
\nAu nuage a rendu son vol,
\nEt la plume du rossignol
\nDans mon onde n\u2019est plus tremp\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Cette onde qui filtrait du ciel
\nRoulait des clart\u00e9s sous la mousse\u2026
\nJ\u2019\u00e9tais bien mieux, j\u2019\u00e9tais l\u2019eau douce,
\nEt me voici tra\u00eenant le sel.<\/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":[209],"poems-book":[210],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[208],"class_list":["post-11369","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-209","poems-book-poesies-inedites","poete-marceline-desbordes-valmore"],"yoast_head":"\n
