Analysis of A l'aube
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Brûlé par l'énorme lumière
Irradiant du ciel caillé,
- Stupéfait, recroquevillé,
Hâlé, sali par la poussière,
Le pauvre paysage mort
Se ranime à l'heure nocturne,
Et puis, murmurant taciturne,
Extasié, rêve et s'endort.
La bonne ombre le rafraîchit ;
Et toute propre resurgit
Sa mélancolique peinture.
Avec l'aurore se levant,
La rosée, au souffle du vent,
Pleure pour laver la nature.
