De son bonheur furtif lorsque, malgr\u00e9 l\u2019orage,
\nL\u2019amant d\u2019H\u00e9ro courait s\u2019enivrer loin du jour
\nEt dans la nuit tentait de gagner \u00e0 la nage
\n\ufeffLe bord o\u00f9 l\u2019attendait l\u2019amour,<\/p>\n
Une lampe envoyait, vigilante et fid\u00e8le,
\nEn ce p\u00e9ril, vers lui, son rayon vacillant ;
\nOn e\u00fbt dit dans les cieux quelque \u00e9toile immortelle
\n\ufeffQui d\u00e9voilait son front tremblant.<\/p>\n
La mer a beau mugir et heurter ses rivages,
\nLes vents au sein des airs d\u00e9cha\u00eener leur effort,
\nLes oiseaux effray\u00e9s pousser des cris sauvages
\n\ufeffEn voyant approcher la Mort,<\/p>\n
Tant que du haut sommet de la tour solitaire
\nBrille le signe aim\u00e9 sur l\u2019ab\u00eeme en fureur,
\nIl ne sentira point, le nageur t\u00e9m\u00e9raire,
\n\ufeffD\u00e9faillir son bras ni son c\u0153ur.<\/p>\n
Comme \u00e0 l\u2019heure sinistre ou la mer en sa rage
\nMena\u00e7ait d\u2019engloutir cet enfant d\u2019Abydos,
\nAutour de nous, dans l\u2019ombre, un \u00e9ternel orage
\n\ufeffFait gronder et bondir les flots.<\/p>\n
Remplissant l\u2019air au loin de ses clameurs fun\u00e8bres,
\nChaque vague en passant nous entr\u2019ouvre un tombeau ;
\nDans les m\u00eames dangers et les m\u00eames t\u00e9n\u00e8bres,
\n\ufeffNous avons le m\u00eame flambeau.<\/p>\n
Le p\u00e2le et doux rayon tremble encor dans la brume.
\nLe vent l\u2019assaille en vain, vainement les flots sourds
\nLa d\u00e9robent parfois sous un voile d\u2019\u00e9cume :
\n\ufeffLa clart\u00e9 reparait toujours.<\/p>\n
Et nous, les yeux lev\u00e9s vers la lueur lointaine,
\nNous fendons, pleins d\u2019espoir, les vagues en courroux ;
\nAu bord du gouffre ouvert, la lumi\u00e8re incertaine
\n\ufeffSemble d\u2019en haut veiller sur nous.<\/p>\n
\u00d4 phare de l\u2019Amour ! qui dans la nuit profonde
\nNous guides \u00e0 travers les \u00e9cueils d\u2019ici-bas,
\nToi que nous voyons luire entre le ciel et l\u2019onde,
\n\ufeffLampe d\u2019H\u00e9ro, ne t\u2019\u00e9teins pas !<\/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":[197],"poems-book":[715],"poemes-theme":[171,379],"poete":[717],"class_list":["post-15800","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-197","poems-book-premieres-poesies-ackermann","poemes-theme-amour","poemes-theme-mer","poete-louise-ackermann"],"yoast_head":"\n
