Analysis of Dans l'étable

Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)



Quelle paix ont les araignées
Aux solives comme aux carreaux !
Ici, des ais de tombereaux,
Là, des pioches et des cognées.

Je viens d’échanger des poignées
De main avec les pastoureaux;
Quelle paix ont les araignées
Aux solives comme aux carreaux !

Sur des litières bien soignées
Je vois ruminer les taureaux
Qui parfois entre les barreaux
Passent leurs têtes refrognées.
— Quelle paix ont les araignées !
