(R\u00c9PONSE \u00c0 LA D\u00c9DICACE DE SON DRAME \u00ab LA CONSCIENCE \u00bb)<\/p>\n
Merci du bord des mers \u00e0 celui qui se tourne
\nVers la rive o\u00f9 le deuil, tranquille et noir, s\u00e9journe,
\nQui d\u00e9fait de sa t\u00eate, o\u00f9 le rayon descend,
\nLa couronne, et la jette au spectre de l\u2019absent,
\nEt qui, dans le triomphe et la rumeur, d\u00e9die
\nSon drame \u00e0 l\u2019immobile et p\u00e2le trag\u00e9die !<\/p>\n
Je n\u2019ai pas oubli\u00e9 le quai d\u2019Anvers, ami,
\nNi le groupe vaillant, toujours plus raffermi,
\nD\u2019amis chers, de fronts purs, ni toi, ni cette foule.
\nLe canot du steamer soulev\u00e9 par la houle
\nVint me prendre, et ce fut un long embrassement.
\nJe montai sur l\u2019avant du paquebot fumant,
\nLa roue ouvrit la vague, et nous nous appel\u00e2mes :
\n\u2014 Adieu ! \u2014 Puis, dans les vents, dans les flots, dans les larmes,
\nToi debout sur le quai, moi debout sur le pont,
\nVibrant comme deux luths dont la voix se r\u00e9pond,
\nAussi longtemps qu\u2019on put se voir, nous regard\u00e2mes
\nL\u2019un vers l\u2019autre, faisant comme un \u00e9change d\u2019\u00e2mes ;
\nEt le vaisseau fuyait, et la terre d\u00e9crut ;
\nL\u2019horizon entre nous monta, tout disparut ;
\nUne brume couvrit l\u2019onde incommensurable ;
\nTu rentras dans ton \u0153uvre \u00e9clatante, innombrable,
\nMultiple, \u00e9blouissante, heureuse, o\u00f9 le jour luit ;
\nEt moi dans l\u2019unit\u00e9 sinistre de la nuit.<\/p>\n
