Tes pieds sont aussi fins que tes mains, et ta hanche
\nEst large \u00e0 faire envie \u00e0 la plus belle blanche ;
\n\u00c0 l\u2019artiste pensif ton corps est doux et cher ;
\nTes grands yeux de velours sont plus noirs que ta chair.
\nAux pays chauds et bleus o\u00f9 ton Dieu t\u2019a fait na\u00eetre,
\nTa t\u00e2che est d\u2019allumer la pipe de ton ma\u00eetre,
\nDe pourvoir les flacons d\u2019eaux fra\u00eeches et d\u2019odeurs,
\nDe chasser loin du lit les moustiques r\u00f4deurs,
\nEt, d\u00e8s que le matin fait chanter les platanes,
\nD\u2019acheter au bazar ananas et bananes.
\nTout le jour, o\u00f9 tu veux, tu m\u00e8nes tes pieds nus,
\nEt fredonnes tout bas de vieux airs inconnus ;
\nEt quand descend le soir au manteau d\u2019\u00e9carlate,
\nTu poses doucement ton corps sur une natte,
\nO\u00f9 tes r\u00eaves flottants sont pleins de colibris,
\nEt toujours, comme toi, gracieux et fleuris.
\nPourquoi, l\u2019heureuse enfant, veux-tu voir notre France,
\nCe pays trop peupl\u00e9 que fauche la souffrance,
\nEt, confiant ta vie aux bras forts des marins,
\nFaire de grands adieux \u00e0 tes chers tamarins ?
\nToi, v\u00eatue \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 de mousselines fr\u00eales,
\nFrissonnante l\u00e0-bas sous la neige et les gr\u00eales,
\nComme tu pleurerais tes loisirs doux et francs,
\nSi, le corset brutal emprisonnant tes flancs,
\nIl te fallait glaner ton souper dans nos fanges
\nEt vendre le parfum de tes charmes \u00e9tranges,
\nL\u2019\u0153il pensif, et suivant, dans nos sales brouillards,
\nDes cocotiers absents les fant\u00f4mes \u00e9pars !<\/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":[187],"poems-book":[189],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[190],"class_list":["post-1975","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-187","poems-book-les-fleurs-du-mal","poete-charles-baudelaire"],"yoast_head":"\n
