Vous \u00eates calme, vous voulez un v\u0153u discret,
\nDes secrets \u00e0 mi-voix dans l\u2019ombre et le silence,
\nLe c\u0153ur qui se r\u00e9pand plut\u00f4t qu\u2019il ne s\u2019\u00e9lance,
\nEt ces timides, moins transis qu\u2019il ne para\u00eet.<\/p>\n
Vous accueillez d\u2019un geste exquis telles pens\u00e9es
\nQui ne marchent qu\u2019en ordre et font le moins de bruit.
\nVotre main, toujours pr\u00eate \u00e0 la chute du fruit,
\npatiente avec l\u2019arbre et s\u2019abstient de pouss\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
Et si l\u2019immense amour de vos commandements
\nEmbrasse et presse tous en sa sollicitude,
\nVos conseils vont dicter aux meilleurs et l\u2019\u00e9tude
\nEt le travail des plus humbles recueillements.<\/p>\n
Le p\u00e9cheur, s\u2019il pr\u00e9tend vous conna\u00eetre et vous plaire,
\n\u00d4 vous qui nous aimant si fort parliez si peu.
\nDoit et peut, \u00e0 tout temps du jour comme en tout lieu,
\nBien faire obscur\u00e9ment son devoir et se taire.<\/p>\n
Se taire pour le monde, un pur s\u00e9nat de fous,
\nSe taire sur autrui, des \u00e2mes pr\u00e9cieuses,
\nCar nous taire vous pla\u00eet, m\u00eame aux heures pieuses,
\nM\u00eame \u00e0 la mort, sinon devant le pr\u00eatre et vous.<\/p>\n
Donnez-leur le silence et l\u2019amour du myst\u00e8re,
\n\u00d4 Dieu glorifieur du bien fait en secret,
\n\u00c0 ces timides moins transis qu\u2019il ne para\u00eet.
\nEt l\u2019horreur, et le pli des choses de la terre.<\/p>\n
Donnez-leur, \u00f4 mon Dieu, la r\u00e9signation.
\nToute forte douceur, l\u2019ordre et l\u2019intelligence.
\nAfin qu\u2019au jour supr\u00eame ils gagnent l\u2019indulgence
\nDe l\u2019Agneau formidable en la neuve Sion,<\/p>\n
Afin qu\u2019ils puissent dire : \u00ab Au moins nous s\u00fbmes croire \u00bb,
\nEt que l\u2019Agneau terrible, ayant tout supput\u00e9,
\nLeur r\u00e9ponde : \u00ab Venez, vous avez m\u00e9rit\u00e9.
\nPacifiques, ma paix, et, douloureux, ma gloire. \u00bb<\/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":[248],"poems-book":[247],"poemes-theme":[],"poete":[240],"class_list":["post-2766","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-248","poems-book-sagesse","poete-paul-verlaine"],"yoast_head":"\n
