L'Enfer
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Dans l'enfer, Satan fait étendre
Des barreaux et des grils ardents,
Et sourd, ne voulant rien entendre,
Il dit aux pécheurs imprudents
Que leur âme n’est plus à vendre.
Riant d’un air qui n’est pas tendre,
Pour activer ses intendants,
Il court comme une salamandre
Dans l’enfer.
Sans jamais se réduire en cendre
Tous les damnés grincent des dents,
Et réclament à cris stridents
Que la mort vienne les reprendre !...
Mais la mort ne peut pas descendre
Dans l’enfer !
