Analysis of Les Yeux bleus

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



Tes yeux bleus comme deux bluets
Me suivaient dans l’herbe fanée
Et près du lac aux joncs fluets
Où la brise désordonnée
Venait danser des menuets.

Chère Ange, tu diminuais
Les ombres de ma destinée,
Lorsque vers moi tu remuais
          Tes yeux bleus.

Mes spleens, tu les atténuais,
Et ma vie était moins damnée
À cette époque fortunée
Où dans l’âme, à frissons muets,
Tendrement tu m’insinuais
          Tes yeux bleus !
