Et toi, son fr\u00e8re, sois le fr\u00e8re de mes fils.
\nC\u0153ur fier, qui du destin rel\u00e8ves les d\u00e9fis,
\nSuis \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de moi la voie inexorable.
\nQue ta m\u00e8re au front gris soit ma s\u0153ur v\u00e9n\u00e9rable !
\nTon fr\u00e8re dort couch\u00e9 dans le s\u00e9pulcre noir ;
\nNous, dans la nuit du sort, dans l\u2019ombre du devoir,
\nMarchons \u00e0 la clart\u00e9 qui sort de cette pierre.
\nQu\u2019il dorme, voyant l\u2019aube \u00e0 travers sa paupi\u00e8re !
\nUn jour, quand on lira nos temps myst\u00e9rieux,
\nLes songeurs attendris prom\u00e8neront leurs yeux
\nDe toi, le d\u00e9vouement, \u00e0 lui, le sacrifice.
\nNous habitons du sphinx le lugubre \u00e9difice ;
\nNous sommes, c\u0153urs li\u00e9s au morne pi\u00e9destal,
\nTous la fatale \u00e9nigme et tous le mot fatal.
\nAh ! famille ! ah ! douleur ! \u00f4 s\u0153ur ! \u00f4 m\u00e8re ! \u00f4 veuve !
\n\u00d4 sombres lieux, qu\u2019emplit le murmure du fleuve !
\nChaste tombe jumelle au pied du coteau vert !
\nPo\u00ebte, quand mon sort s\u2019est brusquement ouvert,
\nTu n\u2019as pas recul\u00e9 devant les noires portes,
\nEt, sans p\u00e2lir, avec le flambeau que tu portes,
\nTes chants, ton avenir que l\u2019absence interrompt,
\nEt le fr\u00e9missement lumineux de ton front,
\nTrouvant la chute belle et le malheur propice,
\nCalme, tu t\u2019es jet\u00e9 dans le grand pr\u00e9cipice !
\nH\u00e9las ! c\u2019est par les deuils que nous nous encha\u00eenons.
\n\u00d4 fr\u00e8res, que vos noms soient m\u00eal\u00e9s \u00e0 nos noms !
\nDieu vous fait des rayons de toutes nos t\u00e9n\u00e8bres.
\nCar vous \u00eates entr\u00e9s sous nos vo\u00fbtes fun\u00e8bres ;
\nCar vous avez \u00e9t\u00e9 tous deux vaillants et doux ;
\nCar vous avez tous deux, vous rapprochant de nous
\n\u00c0 l\u2019heure o\u00f9 vers nos fronts roulait le gouffre d\u2019ombre,
\nAccept\u00e9 notre sort dans ce qu\u2019il a de sombre,
\nEt suivi, d\u00e9daignant l\u2019ab\u00eeme et le p\u00e9ril,
\nLui, la fille au tombeau, toi, le p\u00e8re \u00e0 l\u2019exil !<\/p>\n
