Le Piano

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



Puis-je te célébrer autant que je le dois,
Cher interlocuteur au langage mystique ?
Hier encor, le chagrin, ruisselant de mes doigts,
T’arrachait un sanglot funèbre et sympathique.

Sois fier d’être incompris de la vulgarité  !
Beethoven a sur toi déchaîné sa folie,
Et Chopin, cet Archange ivre d’étrangeté,
T’a versé le trop-plein de sa mélancolie.

Le rêve tendrement peut flotter dans tes sons ;
La volupté se pâme avec tous ses frissons
Dans tes soupirs d’amour et de tristesse vague ;

Intime confident du vrai musicien,
Tu consoles son cœur et son esprit qui vague
Par ton gémissement, fidèle écho du sien.
