\u00c0 cinq, \u00e0 dix, \u00e0 vingt sur les \u00e9teules,
\nComme autant de hameaux
\nNouveaux
\nAutour des bourgs et des villages,
\nS\u2019\u00e9parpillent les meules.<\/p>\n
La route,
\nO\u00f9 trimballent les attelages,
\nO\u00f9 les rouliers, la pipe aux dents,
\nPassent en s\u2019attardant
\nEst loin \u2014 on la redoute.<\/p>\n
M\u00eame l\u2019\u00e9norme branle-bas
\nEt le travail ardent des m\u00e9tairies
\nTournent les fours et les buanderies
\nVers le chemin d\u2019o\u00f9 les meules ne se voient pas.<\/p>\n
Mais les meules
\nOnt pour elles les plaines
\nO\u00f9 l\u2019on peut voir,
\nLe soir,
\nMyriadaire et morcel\u00e9,
\nLe bloc total du cristal \u00e9toil\u00e9 ;
\nElles ont pour elles leur ombre solennelle
\nSe d\u00e9ployant si largement
\nSur le damier vide et morne des champs,
\nQu\u2019elles semblent jeter au devant d\u2019elles
\nToute la nuit qu\u2019au jour tombant
\nAccumule
\nLe cr\u00e9puscule.<\/p>\n
Ainsi pendant les froids et les brumes d\u2019hiver,
\nTr\u00f4nent-elles grandes et seules,
\nLes meules ;
\nEt jusqu\u2019aux jours du printemps vert,
\nAu fond des gu\u00e9rets nus et des plaines hagardes,
\nLe ciel et l\u2019\u00e9tendue en ont la garde.<\/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":[278],"poems-book":[696],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[654],"class_list":["post-15525","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-278","poems-book-les-plaines","poete-emile-verhaeren"],"yoast_head":"\n
