Analysis of La Mort des fougères
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
L’âme des fougères s’envole :
Plus de lézards entre les buis !
Et sur l’étang froid comme un puits
Plus de libellule frivole !
La feuille tourne et devient folle,
L’herbe songe aux bluets enfuis.
L’âme des fougères s’envole :
Plus de lézards entre les buis !
Les oiseaux perdent la parole,
Et par les jours et par les nuits,
Sur l’aile du vent plein d’ennuis,
Dans l’espace qui se désole
L’âme des fougères s’envole.
