La Chanson de l'amant

Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)



Je t’ensevelis pour jamais,
Idole si mièvre et si fausse :
Dans l’oubli j’ai creusé la fosse
Oblongue et froide où je te mets.

Ne crois pas que sur mes sommets
Jusqu’à moi ton spectre se hausse !
Je t’ensevelis pour jamais,
Idole si mièvre et si fausse.

Je suis tout seul au monde, mais
Contre moi-même je m’adosse,
Et l’ascétisme que j’endosse
Me revêtira désormais :
Je t’ensevelis pour jamais.
