\u2014 Comme vous accablez vos pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s, Seigneur !<\/p>\n
Comme l\u2019\u00e9clair, comme le vent, comme un voleur,
\nVous vous jetez sur eux, dans un d\u00e9sordre \u00e9trange ;
\nVous les frappez, avec l\u2019essaim des mauvais anges ;
\nVous faites rage, ainsi qu\u2019un typhon sur la mer.
\nNi les cris ni les pleurs dans les regards amers
\nNe vous arr\u00eatent. Vous secouez jusqu\u2019aux moelles
\nLe pauvre c\u00e8dre humain qui louait vos \u00e9toiles !
\nVous dispersez, avec votre bras forcen\u00e9,
\nL\u2019amour, qui consolait depuis que l\u2019on est n\u00e9.
\nPar la douleur physique et la douleur du r\u00eave
\nVous nous faites ployer ; on se courbe, on se l\u00e8ve,
\nComme un rameau rompu qui lutte dans le vent.
\nOn implore, et vos coups vont encor s\u2019aggravant.
\nIl semble que votre ample et salubre courage
\nVeuille assainir en nous quelque obscur mar\u00e9cage,
\nTant vous nous arrachez, par des sueurs de sang,
\nL\u2019\u00e2cre ferment vivant, orgueilleux et puissant.
\nOn pense qu\u2019on mourra du mal que vous nous faites\u2026
\n\u2014 Et puis, c\u2019est tout \u00e0 coup la fin de la temp\u00eate ;
\nOn est comme les bois l\u00e9gers, silencieux,
\nD\u2019o\u00f9 le vent se retire et monte vers les cieux.
\nEt l\u2019on est abattu, mais clair, calme, sans tache ;
\nBerc\u00e9 comme un vaisseau sous une molle attache ;
\nPurifi\u00e9, prudent, entour\u00e9 de remparts,
\nProt\u00e9g\u00e9 comme un roi parmi ses \u00e9tendards\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Mais s\u2019il fallait conna\u00eetre encor cette furie,
\nAh ! Seigneur, laissez-moi mourir sur la prairie,
\nPr\u00e8s de l\u2019arbre du bien et du mal, dont mes mains
\nD\u00e8s l\u2019enfance ont cueilli les d\u00e9lices humains.
\nD\u00e9fendez-moi de vous, Seigneur, je vous en prie ;
\nLaissez-moi d\u00e9faillir, et ne m\u2019arrachez pas
\nLe perfide serpent qui dort entre mes bras\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":[274],"poems-book":[594],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[611],"class_list":["post-13117","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-274","poems-book-les-vivants-et-les-morts","poete-anna-de-noailles"],"yoast_head":"\n
