L'oiseau bleu
Alphonse Daudet 1840 (Nîmes) – 1897 (Paris)
J’ai dans mon cœur un oiseau bleu,
Une charmante créature,
Si mignonne que sa ceinture
N’a pas l’épaisseur d’un cheveu
Il lui faut du sang pour pâture.
Bien longtemps, je me fis un jeu
De lui donner sa nourriture :
Les petits oiseaux mangent peu.
Mais, sans en rien laisser paraître,
Dans mon cœur il a fait, le traître,
Un trou large comme la main,
Et son bec, fin comme une lame,
En continuant son chemin,
M’est entré jusqu’au fond de l’âme !
