Analysis of Allez, Mes Ver, Allez

Andre Marie de Chenier 1762 (Constantinople) – 1794 (Paris)



Allez, mes vers, allez; je me confie en vous;
Allez fléchir son coeur, désarmer son courroux;
Suppliez, gémissez, implorez sa clémence,
Tant qu'elle vous admette enfin à sa présence.
Entrez: à ses genoux prosternez vos douleurs,
Le deuil peint sur le front, abattus, tout en pleurs;
Et ne revoyez point mon seuil triste et farouche,
Que vous ne m'apportiez un pardon de sa bouche.

His career was brought to an abrupt end when he was guillotined for supposed "crimes against the state", just three days before the end of the Reign of Terror. Chénier's life has been the subject of Umberto Giordano's opera Andrea Chénier and other works of art. more…
