Le mouchoir sur la nuque et la jupe l\u00e2ch\u00e9e,
\nD\u00e8s l\u2019aube, elle est venue au pacage, de loin ;
\nMais sommeillante encore, elle s\u2019est recouch\u00e9e,
\n\ufeffL\u00e0, sous les arbres, dans un coin.<\/p>\n
Aussit\u00f4t elle dort, bouche ouverte et ronflante ;
\nLe gazon monte, autour du front et des pieds nus ;
\nLes bras sont repli\u00e9s de fa\u00e7on nonchalante,
\n\ufeffEt les mouches r\u00f4dent dessus.<\/p>\n
Les insectes de l\u2019herbe, amis de chaleur douce
\nEt de sol atti\u00e9di, s\u2019en viennent, \u00e0 vol lent,
\nSe blottir, par essaims, sous la couche de mousse,
\n\ufeffQu\u2019elle r\u00e9chauffe en s\u2019\u00e9talant.<\/p>\n
Quelquefois, elle fait un geste gauche, \u00e0 vide,
\nEffarouche autour d\u2019elle un murmure ameut\u00e9
\nD\u2019abeilles ; mais bient\u00f4t, de somme encore avide,
\n\ufeffSe tourne de l\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Le pacage, de sa flore lourde et charnelle,
\nEncadre la dormeuse \u00e0 souhait : comme en lui,
\nLa pesante lenteur des b\u0153ufs s\u2019incarne en elle
\n\ufeffEt leur paix lourde en son \u0153il luit.<\/p>\n
La force, bossuant de n\u0153uds le tronc des ch\u00eanes,
\nAvec le sang \u00e9clate en son corps tout entier :
\nSes cheveux sont plus blonds que l\u2019orge dans les plaines
\n\ufeffEt les sables dans le sentier.<\/p>\n
Ses mains sont de rougeur crue et r\u00e8che ; la s\u00e8ve
\nQui roule, \u00e0 flots de feu, dans ses membres h\u00e2l\u00e9s,
\nBat sa gorge, la gonfle, et, lente, la soul\u00e8ve
\n\ufeffComme les vents l\u00e8vent les bl\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
Midi, d\u2019un baiser d\u2019or, la surprend sous les saules,
\nEt toujours le sommeil s\u2019alourdit sur ses yeux,
\nTandis que des rameaux flottent sur ses \u00e9paules
\n\ufeffEt se m\u00ealent \u00e0 ses cheveux.<\/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":[444],"poems-book":[679],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[654],"class_list":["post-14791","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-444","poems-book-les-flammandes","poete-emile-verhaeren"],"yoast_head":"\n
