Ô la splendeur de notre joie

Emile Verhaeren 1855 (Sint-Amands) – 1916 (Rouen)



Ô la splendeur de notre joie
Tissée en or dans l'air de soie!

Voici la maison douce et son pignon léger,
Et le jardin et le verger.

Voici le banc, sous les pommiers
D'où s'effeuille le printemps blanc,
A pétales frôlants et lents.

Voici des vols de lumineux ramiers
Planant, ainsi que des présages,
Dans le ciel clair du paysage

Voici, pareils à des baisers tombés sur terre
De la bouche du frêle azur,
Deux bleus étangs simples et purs,
Bordés naïvement de fleurs involontaires.

Ô la splendeur de notre joie et de nous-mêmes,
En ce jardin où nous vivons de nos emblèmes.
