Ne souffre pas ; tu vois, je suis pourtant moi-m\u00eame,
\n Malgr\u00e9 les multiples aspects.
\nTu cherchais le repos ? Peut-\u00eatre que tu m\u2019aimes
\n Pour cette absence de ta paix !<\/p>\n
Concevais-tu vraiment que le bonheur existe ?
\n Que l\u2019on donne un ordre au destin ?
\nN\u2019avais-tu donc jamais, d\u2019un \u0153il lucide et triste,
\n Vu le lent retour des matins ?<\/p>\n
Dans l\u2019immense ouragan o\u00f9 combattent les choses,
\n Poursuivais-tu d\u2019autres loisirs
\nQue ces instants secrets o\u00f9 le d\u00e9sir compose
\n Un baume d\u2019\u00e2me et de plaisir ?<\/p>\n
\u2014 L\u2019amour n\u2019est pas un don qui rend plaisante et stable
\n La vie aux sursauts coutumiers ;
\nIl fait mieux mesurer l\u2019immensit\u00e9 des sables,
\n Le puits distant sous les palmiers !<\/p>\n
Les travaux des humains, comme ceux des abeilles,
\n Vaquent aux soins de la cit\u00e9,
\nMais tout l\u2019effort profond ne r\u00eave et ne conseille
\n Que l\u2019apaisante volupt\u00e9 ;<\/p>\n
C\u2019est elle la ch\u00e9tive et compl\u00e8te patrie
\n Dont l\u2019\u00eatre est sans cesse exil\u00e9 ;
\nAcceptons que le sort prot\u00e8ge et contrarie
\n Un v\u0153u toujours renouvel\u00e9 !<\/p>\n
Acceptons que demain, comme aujourd\u2019hui, demeure
\n Un jour d\u2019espoir et de chagrin ;
\nIl est beau de go\u00fbter le plaisir souverain
\n Dans l\u2019\u00e9troit calice d\u2019une heure !<\/p>\n
Je refuse de croire \u00e0 des jours aplanis
\n O\u00f9 pour nous deux l\u2019injuste chance
\nArr\u00eaterait soudain, dans le temps infini,
\n L\u2019oscillement de ses balances.<\/p>\n
Certes j\u2019eusse voulu charger d\u2019un gai bonheur
\n Ma m\u00e9ditative caresse,
\nMais peut-\u00eatre ai-je mieux apparent\u00e9 nos c\u0153urs
\n Si je t\u2019ai donn\u00e9 la tristesse\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":[602],"poems-book":[596],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[611],"class_list":["post-13489","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-602","poems-book-poeme-de-lamour","poete-anna-de-noailles"],"yoast_head":"\n
