Le Pavillon

Henri de Regnier 1864 (Honfleur) – 1936 (Paris)



La corbeille, la pannetière et le ruban
Nouant la double flûte à la houlette droite,
Le médaillon ovale où la moulure étroite
Encadre un profil gris dans le panneau plus blanc ;

La pendule hâtive et l’horloge au pas lent
Où l’heure, tour à tour, se contrarie et boite ;
Le miroir las qui semble une eau luisante et moite,
La porte entrebâillée et le rideau tremblant ;

Quelqu’un qui est parti, quelqu’un qui va venir,
La Mémoire endormie avec le Souvenir,
Une approche qui tarde et date d’une absence,

Une fenêtre, sur l’odeur du buis amer,
Ouverte, et sur des roses d’où le vent balance
Le lustre de cristal au parquet de bois clair.
