Paris, 1810.<\/p>\n
Le pass\u00e9 n\u2019est rien dans la vie,
\nEt le pr\u00e9sent est moins encor :
\nC\u2019est \u00e0 l\u2019avenir qu\u2019on se fie
\nPour nous donner joie et tr\u00e9sor.
\nTout mortel dans ses v\u0153ux devance
\nCet avenir o\u00f9 nous courons ;
\nLe bonheur est en esp\u00e9rance.
\nOn vit, en disant : Nous verrons.<\/p>\n
Mais cet avenir plein de charmes.
\nQu\u2019est-il lorsqu\u2019il est arriv\u00e9 ?
\nC\u2019est le pr\u00e9sent qui de nos larmes
\nMatin et soir est abreuv\u00e9 !
\nAussit\u00f4t que s\u2019ouvre la sc\u00e8ne
\nQu\u2019avec ardeur nous d\u00e9sirons.
\nOn b\u00e2ille, on la regarde \u00e0 peine ;
\nOn voit, en disant : Nous verrons<\/p>\n
Ce vieillard penche vers la terre ;
\nIl touche \u00e0 ses derniers instants :
\nY pense-t-il ? Non ; il esp\u00e8re
\nVivre encor soixante et dix ans.
\nUn docteur, fort d\u2019exp\u00e9rience,
\nVeut lui prouver que nous mourons
\nLe vieillard rit de la sentence,
\nEt meurt en disant : Nous verrons.<\/p>\n
Val\u00e8re et Damis n\u2019ont qu\u2019une \u00e2me ;
\nC\u2019est le mod\u00e8le des amis.
\nVal\u00e8re en un malheur r\u00e9clame
\nLa bourse et les soins de Damis :
\n\u00ab Je viens \u00e0 vous, ami sinc\u00e8re,
\nOu ce soir au fond des prisons\u2026
\n\u2014 Quoi ! ce soir m\u00eame ? \u2014 Oui ! \u2014 Cher Val\u00e8re,
\nRevenez demain : Nous verrons. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Gare ! faites place aux carrosses
\nO\u00f9 s\u2019enfle l\u2019orgueilleux manant
\nQui jadis conduisoit deux rosses
\n\u00c0 trente sous, pour le passant.
\nLe peuple \u00e9cras\u00e9 par la roue
\nMaudit l\u2019enfant des Percherons ;
\nMoi, du prince \u00e9vitant la boue.
\nJe me range, et dis : Nous verrons.<\/p>\n
Nous verrons est un mot magique
\nQui sert dans tous les cas f\u00e2cheux :
\nNous verrons, dit le politique ;
\nNous verrons, dit le malheureux.
\nLes grands hommes de nos gazettes,
\nLes rois du jour, les fanfarons,
\nLes faux amis et les coquettes,
\nTout cela vous dit : Nous verrons.<\/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":[188],"poems-book":[552],"poemes-theme":[346,366],"poete":[560],"class_list":["post-12190","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-188","poems-book-poesies-diverses-chateaubriand","poemes-theme-carpe-diem","poemes-theme-temps-qui-passe","poete-francois-rene-de-chateaubriand"],"yoast_head":"\n
