Les Pierres

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



Par monts, par vaux, près des rivières,
Les frimas font à volonté
Des blocs d’ombre et d’humidité
Avec le gisement des pierres.

Sous le vert froid des houx, des lierres,
Sous la ronce maigre, — à côté
Du chardon dévioletté
Cela dort dans les fondrières,
Plein d’horreur et d’hostilité,
Donnant aux brandes familières
Une lugubre étrangeté.

Mais sitôt qu’on voit les chaumières
Refumer bleu dans la clarté,
C’est le soleil ressuscité
Qui refait couleurs et lumières,
De la vie et de la gaieté
Avec le gisement des pierres.
