Mes volages humeurs, plus sterilles que belles,
\nS\u2019en vont ; et je leur dis : Vous sentez, irondelles,
\nS\u2019esloigner la chaleur et le froid arriver.
\nAllez nicher ailleurs, pour ne tascher, impures,
\nMa couche de babil et ma table d\u2019ordures ;
\nLaissez dormir en paix la nuict de mon hyver.<\/p>\n
D\u2019un seul point le soleil n\u2019esloigne l\u2019h\u00e9misph\u00e8re ;
\nIl jette moins d\u2019ardeur, mais autant de lumiere.
\nJe change sans regrets, lorsque je me repens
\nDes frivoles amours et de leur artifice.
\nJ\u2019ayme l\u2019hyver qui vient purger mon c\u0153ur de vice,
\nComme de peste l\u2019air, la terre de serpens.<\/p>\n
Mon chef blanchit dessous les neiges entass\u00e9es,
\nLe soleil, qui reluit, les eschauffe, glac\u00e9es,
\nMais ne les peut dissoudre, au plus court de ses mois.
\nFondez, neiges ; venez dessus mon c\u0153ur descendre,
\nQu\u2019encores il ne puisse allumer de ma cendre
\nDu brazier, comme il fit des flammes autrefois.<\/p>\n
Mais quoi ! serai-je esteint devant ma vie esteinte ?
\nNe luira plus sur moi la flamme vive et sainte,
\nLe zele flamboyant de la sainte maison ?
\nJe fais aux saints autels holocaustes des restes,
\nDe glace aux feux impurs, et de napthe aux celestes :
\nClair et sacr\u00e9 flambeau, non fun\u00e8bre tison !<\/p>\n
Voici moins de plaisirs, mais voici moins de peines.
\nLe rossignol se taist, se taisent les sereines :
\nNous ne voyons cueillir ni les fruits ni les fleurs ;
\nL\u2019esp\u00e9rance n\u2019est plus bien souvent tromperesse ;
\nL\u2019hyver jouit de tout. Bienheureuse vieillesse,
\nLa saison de l\u2019usage, et non plus des labeurs !<\/p>\n
Mais la mort n\u2019est pas loin ; cette mort est suivie
\nD\u2019un vivre sans mourir, fin d\u2019une fausse vie :
\nVie de nostre vie, et mort de nostre mort.
\nQui hait la seuret\u00e9 pour aimer le naufrage ?
\nQui a jamais est\u00e9 si friand de voyage,
\nQue la longueur en soit plus douce que le port ?<\/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":[],"poems-book":[],"poemes-theme":[335,954],"poete":[796],"class_list":["post-16934","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","poemes-theme-hiver","poemes-theme-vieillesse","poete-theodore-agrippa-daubigne"],"yoast_head":"\n
