Les turcs ont pass\u00e9 l\u00e0. Tout est ruine et deuil.
\nChio, l\u2019\u00eele des vins, n\u2019est plus qu\u2019un sombre \u00e9cueil,
\nChio, qu\u2019ombrageaient les charmilles,
\nChio, qui dans les flots refl\u00e9tait ses grands bois,
\nSes coteaux, ses palais, et le soir quelquefois
\nUn ch\u0153ur dansant de jeunes filles.<\/p>\n
Tout est d\u00e9sert. Mais non ; seul pr\u00e8s des murs noircis,
\nUn enfant aux yeux bleus, un enfant grec, assis,
\nCourbait sa t\u00eate humili\u00e9e ;
\nIl avait pour asile, il avait pour appui
\nUne blanche aub\u00e9pine, une fleur, comme lui
\nDans le grand ravage oubli\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Ah ! pauvre enfant, pieds nus sur les rocs anguleux !
\nH\u00e9las ! pour essuyer les pleurs de tes yeux bleus
\nComme le ciel et comme l\u2019onde,
\nPour que dans leur azur, de larmes orageux,
\nPasse le vif \u00e9clair de la joie et des jeux,
\nPour relever ta t\u00eate blonde,<\/p>\n
Que veux-tu ? Bel enfant, que te faut-il donner
\nPour rattacher ga\u00eement et ga\u00eement ramener
\nEn boucles sur ta blanche \u00e9paule
\nCes cheveux, qui du fer n\u2019ont pas subi l\u2019affront,
\nEt qui pleurent \u00e9pars autour de ton beau front,
\nComme les feuilles sur le saule ?<\/p>\n
Qui pourrait dissiper tes chagrins n\u00e9buleux ?
\nEst-ce d\u2019avoir ce lys, bleu comme tes yeux bleus,
\nQui d\u2019Iran borde le puits sombre ?
\nOu le fruit du tuba, de cet arbre si grand,
\nQu\u2019un cheval au galop met, toujours en courant,
\nCent ans \u00e0 sortir de son ombre ?<\/p>\n
Veux-tu, pour me sourire, un bel oiseau des bois,
\nQui chante avec un chant plus doux que le hautbois,
\nPlus \u00e9clatant que les cymbales ?
\nQue veux-tu ? fleur, beau fruit, ou l\u2019oiseau merveilleux ?
\n\u2014 Ami, dit l\u2019enfant grec, dit l\u2019enfant aux yeux bleus,
\nJe veux de la poudre et des balles.<\/p>\n
