Sara, belle d\u2019indolence,
\n\ufeffSe balance
\nDans un hamac, au-dessus
\nDu bassin d\u2019une fontaine
\n\ufeffToute pleine
\nD\u2019eau puis\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019Ilyssus ;<\/p>\n
Et la fr\u00eale escarpolette
\n\ufeffSe refl\u00e8te
\nDans le transparent miroir,
\nAvec la baigneuse blanche
\n\ufeffQui se penche,
\nQui se penche pour se voir.<\/p>\n
Chaque fois que la nacelle,
\n\ufeffQui chancelle,
\nPasse \u00e0 fleur d\u2019eau dans son vol,
\nOn voit sur l\u2019eau qui s\u2019agite
\n\ufeffSortir vite
\nSon beau pied et son beau col.<\/p>\n
Elle bat d\u2019un pied timide
\n\ufeffL\u2019onde humide
\nO\u00f9 tremble un mouvant tableau,
\nFait rougir son pied d\u2019alb\u00e2tre,
\n\ufeffEt, fol\u00e2tre,
\nRit de la fra\u00eecheur de l\u2019eau.<\/p>\n
Reste ici cach\u00e9 : demeure !
\n\ufeffDans une heure,
\nD\u2019un \u0153il ardent tu verras
\nSortir du bain l\u2019ing\u00e9nue,
\n\ufeffToute nue,
\nCroisant ses mains sur ses bras.<\/p>\n
Car c\u2019est un astre qui brille
\n\ufeffQu\u2019une fille
\nQui sort d\u2019un bain au flot clair,
\nCherche s\u2019il ne vient personne,
\n\ufeffEt frissonne,
\nToute mouill\u00e9e au grand air.<\/p>\n
Elle est l\u00e0, sous la feuill\u00e9e,
\n\ufeff\u00c9veill\u00e9e
\nAu moindre bruit de malheur ;
\nEt rouge, pour une mouche
\n\ufeffQui la touche,
\nComme une grenade en fleur.<\/p>\n
On voit tout ce que d\u00e9robe
\n\ufeffVoile ou robe ;
\nDans ses yeux d\u2019azur en feu,
\nSon regard que rien ne voile
\n\ufeffEst l\u2019\u00e9toile
\nQui brille au fond d\u2019un ciel bleu.<\/p>\n
L\u2019eau sur son corps qu\u2019elle essuie
\n\ufeffRoule en pluie,
\nComme sur un peuplier ;
\nComme si, gouttes \u00e0 gouttes,
\n\ufeffTombaient toutes
\nLes perles de son collier.<\/p>\n
Mais Sara la nonchalante
\n\ufeffEst bien lente
\n\u00c0 finir ses doux \u00e9bats ;
\nToujours elle se balance
\n\ufeffEn silence,
\nEt va murmurant tout bas :<\/p>\n
\u00ab Oh ! si j\u2019\u00e9tais capitane,
\n\ufeffOu sultane,
\nJe prendrais des bains ambr\u00e9s,
\nDans un bain de marbre jaune,
\n\ufeffPr\u00e8s d\u2019un tr\u00f4ne,
\nEntre deux griffons dor\u00e9s !<\/p>\n
\u00ab J\u2019aurais le hamac de soie
\n\ufeffQui se ploie
\nSous le corps pr\u00eat \u00e0 p\u00e2mer ;
\nJ\u2019aurais la molle ottomane
\n\ufeffDont \u00e9mane
\nUn parfum qui fait aimer.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Je pourrais fol\u00e2trer nue,
\n\ufeffSous la nue,
\nDans le ruisseau du jardin,
\nSans craindre de voir dans l\u2019ombre
\n\ufeffDu bois sombre
\nDeux yeux s\u2019allumer soudain.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Il faudrait risquer sa t\u00eate
\n\ufeffInqui\u00e8te,
\nEt tout braver pour me voir,
\nLe sabre nu de l\u2019heiduque,
\n\ufeffEt l\u2019eunuque
\nAux dents blanches, au front noir !<\/p>\n
\u00ab Puis, je pourrais, sans qu\u2019on presse
\n\ufeffMa paresse,
\nLaisser avec mes habits
\nTra\u00eener sur les larges dalles
\n\ufeffMes sandales
\nDe drap brod\u00e9 de rubis. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Ainsi se parle en princesse,
\n\ufeffEt sans cesse
\nSe balance avec amour,
\nLa jeune fille rieuse,
\n\ufeffOublieuse
\nDes promptes ailes du jour.<\/p>\n
L\u2019eau, du pied de la baigneuse
\n\ufeffPeu soigneuse,
\nRejaillit sur le gazon,
\nSur sa chemise pliss\u00e9e,
\n\ufeffBalanc\u00e9e
\nAux branches d\u2019un vert buisson.<\/p>\n
Et cependant des campagnes
\n\ufeffSes compagnes
\nPrennent toutes le chemin.
\nVoici leur troupe frivole
\n\ufeffQui s\u2019envole
\nEn se tenant par la main.<\/p>\n
Chacune, en chantant comme elle,
\n\ufeffPasse, et m\u00eale
\nCe reproche \u00e0 sa chanson :
\n\u2014 Oh ! la paresseuse fille
\n\ufeffQui s\u2019habille
\nSi tard un jour de moisson !<\/p>\n
