Au temps o\u00f9 vous m\u2019aimiez (bien s\u00fbr ?),
\nVous m\u2019envoy\u00e2tes, fra\u00eeche \u00e9close,
\nUne ch\u00e8re petite rose,
\nFrais embl\u00e8me, message pur.<\/p>\n
Elle disait en son langage
\nLes \u00ab serments du premier amour \u00bb :
\nVotre c\u0153ur \u00e0 moi pour toujours
\nEt toutes les choses d\u2019usage.<\/p>\n
Trois ans sont pass\u00e9s. Nous voil\u00e0 !
\nMais moi j\u2019ai gard\u00e9 la m\u00e9moire
\nDe votre rose, et c\u2019est ma gloire
\nDe penser encore \u00e0 cela.<\/p>\n
H\u00e9las ! si j\u2019ai la souvenance,
\nJe n\u2019ai plus la fleur, ni le c\u0153ur,
\nElle est aux quatre vents, la fleur.
\nLe c\u0153ur ? mais, voici que j\u2019y pense,<\/p>\n
Fut-il mien jamais ? entre nous ?
\nMoi, le mien bat toujours de m\u00eame,
\nIl est toujours simple. Un embl\u00e8me
\n\u00c0 mon tour. Dites, voulez-vous<\/p>\n
Que, tout pes\u00e9, je vous envoie,
\nTriste s\u00e9lam, mais c\u2019est ainsi,
\nCette pauvre n\u00e9gresse-ci ?
\nElle n\u2019est pas couleur de joie,<\/p>\n
Mais elle est couleur de mon c\u0153ur ;
\nJe l\u2019ai cueillie \u00e0 quelque fente
\nDu pav\u00e9 captif que j\u2019arpente
\nEn ce lieu de juste douleur.<\/p>\n
A-t-elle besoin d\u2019autres preuves ?
\nAcceptez-la pour le plaisir.
\nJ\u2019ai tant fait que de la cueillir,
\nEt c\u2019est presque une fleur-des-veuves.<\/p>\n
