Le doux titre et l\u2019emploi charmant :
\n\u00catre, en juin, un berger d\u2019abeilles,
\nLorsque les pr\u00e9s sont des corbeilles
\nEt les champs des mers de froment ;<\/p>\n
Quand les faucheurs sur les enclumes
\nMart\u00e8lent la faux au son clair,
\nEt que les oisillons dans l\u2019air
\nFont bouffer leurs premi\u00e8res plumes !<\/p>\n
Berger d\u2019abeilles, je le fus,
\n\u00c0 huit ans, l\u00e0-bas, chez mon p\u00e8re,
\nLorsque son vieux rucher prosp\u00e8re
\nChantait sous ses poiriers touffus.<\/p>\n
Quel bonheur de manquer l\u2019\u00e9cole
\nQue l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 transforme en prison,
\nDe se rouler dans le gazon,
\nOu de suivre l\u2019essaim qui vole,<\/p>\n
En lui disant sur un ton doux
\nPour qu\u2019il s\u2019arr\u00eate aux branches basses :
\n\u00ab Posez-vous, car vous \u00eates lasses ;
\nBelles abeilles, posez-vous !<\/p>\n
Nous avons des ruches nouvelles
\nFaites d\u2019un bois qui vous plaira ;
\nLa sauge les parfumera :
\nPosez-vous, abeilles, mes belles ! \u00bb<\/p>\n
Et les abeilles se posaient
\nEn une \u00e9norme grappe grise
\nQue ber\u00e7ait mollement la brise
\nDans les rameaux qui bruissaient.<\/p>\n
\u00ab P\u00e8re ! criais-je, p\u00e8re ! arrive !
\nUn essaim ! \u00bb Et l\u2019on pr\u00e9parait
\nLa ruche neuve o\u00f9 sans regret
\nLa tribu demeurait captive.<\/p>\n
Puis, sur le soir, lorsque, \u00e0 pas lents,
\nDu fond des p\u00e2tures lointaines
\nLes troupeaux revenaient b\u00ealants
\nVers l\u2019\u00e9table et vers les fontaines,<\/p>\n
Je retrouvais mon p\u00e8re au seuil
\nComptant ses b\u00eates caressantes,
\nEt lui disais avec orgueil :
\n\u00ab Toutes les miennes sont pr\u00e9sentes ! \u00bb<\/p>\n
