Le Feu follet
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Le petit feu follet qui danse devant moi,
A l’air trop gracieux pour être un mauvais guide.
Je ne lui prête aucune intention perfide,
Et je crois sa lueur pleine de bonne foi.
Rebrousser chemin ? non ! me défier ? pourquoi ?
C’est ma route, et d’ailleurs le sol n’est pas humide.
Le petit feu follet qui danse devant moi
A l’air trop gracieux pour être un mauvais guide.
Et, marchant au lointain roulement d’un convoi,
J’abandonne mon âme à son rêve morbide
Quand je plonge à mi-corps dans un bourbier liquide ;
Et plus j’enfonce, plus il raille mon effroi,
Le petit feu follet qui danse devant moi !
