Le Lamento des tourterelles
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Par les ombres du crépuscule
Et sous la lune de minuit,
Qu’elle tristesse au fond du bruit
Que la campagne inarticule,
Et comme alors il vous poursuit
De la ravine au monticule,
Ce râle exhalé par l’ennui
Des tourterelles !
L’arbre s’effare et gesticule
Aussi vaguement qu’il bruit ;
Dans l’herbe un frisson brun circule ;
L’eau n’est plus qu’un brouillard qui luit,
Et le vent tiède véhicule
A l’écho qui le reproduit
Le roucoulement minuscule
Des tourterelles !
Et moi, que la douleur conduit,
Je mêle à ces voix de la nuit
Ma plainte horrible où s’inocule
Tout le regret du temps qui fuit
Et du passé qui se recule.
