L'idéal
Rene Francois Armand Prudhomme 1839 (Paris) – 1907 (Châtenay-Malabry)
La lune est grande, le ciel clair
Et plein d'astres, la terre est blême.
Et l'àme du monde est dans l'air.
Je rêve à l'étoile suprême,
A celle qu'on n'aperçoit pas,
Mais dont la lumière voyage
Et doit venir jusqu'ici-bas
Enchanter les yeux d'un autre âge.
Quand luira cette étoile, un jour,
La plus belle et la plus lointaine,
Dites-lui qu'elle eut mon amour,
O derniers de la race humaine !
