Nous f\u00fbmes dupes, vous et moi,
\nDe manigances mutuelles,
\nMadame, \u00e0 cause de l\u2019\u00e9moi
\nDont l\u2019\u00c9t\u00e9 f\u00e9rut nos cervelles.<\/p>\n
Le Printemps avait bien un peu
\nContribu\u00e9, si ma m\u00e9moire
\nEst bonne, \u00e0 brouiller notre jeu,
\nMais que d\u2019une fa\u00e7on moins noire !<\/p>\n
Car au printemps l\u2019air est si frais
\nQu\u2019en somme les roses naissantes
\nQu\u2019Amour semble entr\u2019ouvrir expr\u00e8s
\nOnt des senteurs presque innocentes ;<\/p>\n
Et m\u00eame les lilas ont beau
\nPousser leur haleine poivr\u00e9e
\nDans l\u2019ardeur du soleil nouveau :
\nCet excitant au plus r\u00e9cr\u00e9e,<\/p>\n
Tant le z\u00e9phir souffle, moqueur,
\nDispersant l\u2019aphrodisiaque
\nEffluve, en sorte que le c\u0153ur
\nCh\u00f4me et que m\u00eame l\u2019esprit vaque,<\/p>\n
Et qu\u2019\u00e9moustill\u00e9s, les cinq sens
\nSe mettent alors de la f\u00eate,
\nMais seuls, tout seuls, bien seuls et sans
\nQue la crise monte \u00e0 la t\u00eate.<\/p>\n
Ce fut le temps, sous de clairs ciels,
\n(Vous en souvenez-vous, Madame ?)
\nDes baisers superficiels
\nEt des sentiments \u00e0 fleur d\u2019\u00e2me,<\/p>\n
Exempts de folles passions,
\nPleins d\u2019une bienveillance am\u00e8ne.
\nComme tous deux nous jouissions
\nSans enthousiasme \u2014 et sans peine !<\/p>\n
Heureux instants ! \u2014 mais vint l\u2019\u00c9t\u00e9 :
\nAdieu, rafra\u00eechissantes brises !
\nUn vent de lourde volupt\u00e9
\nInvestit nos \u00e2mes surprises.<\/p>\n
Des fleurs aux calices vermeils
\nNous lanc\u00e8rent leurs odeurs m\u00fbres,
\nEt partout les mauvais conseils
\nTomb\u00e8rent sur nous des ramures.<\/p>\n
Nous c\u00e9d\u00e2mes \u00e0 tout cela,
\nEt ce fut un bien ridicule
\nVertigo qui nous affola
\nTant que dura la canicule.<\/p>\n
Rires oiseux, pleurs sans raisons,
\nMains ind\u00e9finiment press\u00e9es,
\nTristesses moites, p\u00e2moisons,
\nEt quel vague dans les pens\u00e9es !<\/p>\n
L\u2019automne heureusement, avec
\nSon jour froid et ses bises rudes,
\nVint nous corriger, bref et sec,
\nDe nos mauvaises habitudes,<\/p>\n
Et nous induisit brusquement
\nEn l\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9gance r\u00e9clam\u00e9e
\nDe tout irr\u00e9prochable amant
\nComme de toute digne aim\u00e9e\u2026<\/p>\n
Or c\u2019est l\u2019Hiver, Madame, et nos
\nParieurs tremblent pour leur bourse,
\nEr d\u00e9j\u00e0 les autres tra\u00eeneaux
\nOsent nous disputer la course.<\/p>\n
Les deux mains dans votre manchon.
\nTenez-vous bien sur la banquette
\nEt filons ! \u2014 et bient\u00f4t Fanchon
\nNous fleurira quoi qu\u2019on caquette !<\/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":[243],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[240],"class_list":["post-2678","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-187","poems-book-fetes-galantes","poete-paul-verlaine"],"yoast_head":"\n
