\u00d4 cri
\n\ufeffQui retentis, ici,
\nMonde, l\u2019\u00e9coutes-tu \u00e0 travers tes ruines
\nGronder et s\u2019exalter de poitrine en poitrine ?<\/p>\n
Ce n\u2019est plus le grand cri d\u2019amour miraculeux
\nQue les peuples jadis se renvoyaient entre eux ;
\n\ufeffC\u2019est le cri d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui,
\nQue fait courir, immens\u00e9ment, de plaine en plaine,
\n\ufeffLa haine.<\/p>\n
Tu l\u2019entends, Dni\u00e9per, et tu l\u2019entends, Volga,
\nEt toi, Seine si douce, et toi, Loire si belle,
\nEt toi, libre Tamise, et toi, Escaut, rebelle
\nAux outrages r\u00e9cents comme aux vieux attentats.
\nSur tes sommets neigeux o\u00f9 la foudre s\u2019\u00e9crase
\nTu l\u2019entends retentir en tes gorges, Caucase.
\nLa nuit lucide et pure et le matin lustral
\nFr\u00e9missent \u00e0 l\u2019entendre \u00e9clater dans l\u2019Oural.
\nAvec des pleurs m\u00eal\u00e9s \u00e0 sa rage infinie
\nIl descend longuement sur la rouge Arm\u00e9nie,
\nIl d\u00e9chire Erzeroum, Mouch, Sert, Bitlis et Van,
\nSe glisse sur le flot et saute dans le vent
\nPour aller \u00e9mouvoir et troubler l\u2019Am\u00e9rique ;
\nIl vole de Sydney vers le Cap, en Afrique,
\nIl s\u2019exalte, se multiplie et se grossit,
\nMais s\u2019il s\u2019\u00e9pand l\u00e0-bas, il se ramasse ici,
\nEt par-dessus ville et for\u00eat, fleuve et montagne,
\nFrappe \u00e0 la fois ton c\u0153ur et ta gloire, Allemagne.<\/p>\n
Tu as voulu tuer dans l\u2019homme l\u2019\u00eatre humain
\nQu\u2019un Dieu presque tremblant avait fait de ses mains
\nPour qu\u2019il f\u00fbt l\u2019ornement et la clart\u00e9 du monde ;
\nSes yeux dont la lueur \u00e9tait probe et profonde,
\nTu leur appris un jour l\u2019espionnage ardent ;
\nTu glissas le mensonge atroce entre ses dents
\nEt sa langue se fit perfide et ac\u00e9r\u00e9e ;
\nTu d\u00e9tournas ses bras des besognes sacr\u00e9es
\nEt les rendis experts aux m\u00e9tiers de la mort ;
\nTu faussas l\u2019homme et dans son \u00e2me et dans son corps,
\nLe surveillant toujours pour que jamais la force
\nDroite et fi\u00e8re n\u2019entr\u00e2t triomphante en son torse
\nEt ne dress\u00e2t son front d\u00e9livr\u00e9 vers les cieux ;
\nTu rabaissas sur lui tes poings astucieux,
\nBienheureuse d\u2019\u00eatre \u00e0 tel point morne et terrible ;
\nL\u2019honneur et les serments s\u2019\u00e9garaient dans ton crible,
\nL\u2019or de leur grain s\u2019en \u00e9chappait pulv\u00e9ris\u00e9 ;
\nTu fis sortir de Dieu le mal organis\u00e9
\nEt peu \u00e0 peu ce mal composa la pri\u00e8re
\nQue ton rouge empereur promenait sur la terre
\nPour s\u00e9duire et tromper les papes et les rois.<\/p>\n
\ufeffAllemagne, Allemagne,
\nL\u2019horreur de tous c\u00f4t\u00e9s autour de toi s\u2019accro\u00eet ;
\nElle t\u2019entoure ainsi qu\u2019un cercle de montagnes
\n\ufeffQui vivantes s\u2019approcheraient
\nEt de l\u2019aurore au soir et du soir \u00e0 l\u2019aurore
\n\ufeffTe cerneraient et crouleraient.
\nPourtant si l\u2019on t\u2019ex\u00e8cre ainsi, c\u2019est moins encore
\nPour tout le sang vers\u00e9 en tes crimes d\u00e9ments
\nQue pour avoir pens\u00e9 si monstrueusement.<\/p>\n
\ufeff\u00d4 cri
\n\ufeffQui retentis, ici,
\n\ufeffSi tragique, aujourd\u2019hui,
\nTu peux courir, immens\u00e9ment, de plaine en plaine,
\n\ufeffCar tu es juste, \u00f4 cri,
\n\ufeffBien que tu sois, la haine.<\/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":[709],"poems-book":[701],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[654],"class_list":["post-15685","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-709","poems-book-les-ailes-rouges-de-la-guerre","poete-emile-verhaeren"],"yoast_head":"\n
