Prière au printemps

Rene Francois Armand Prudhomme 1839 (Paris) – 1907 (Châtenay-Malabry)



Toi qui fleuris ce que tu touches,
Qui, dans les bois, aux vieilles souches
Rends la vigueur,
Le sourire à toutes les bouches,
La vie au coeur ;

Qui changes la boue en prairies,
Sèmes d'or et de pierreries
Tous les haillons,
Et jusqu'au seuil des boucheries
Mets des rayons !

Ô printemps, alors que tout aime,
Que s'embellit la tombe même,
Verte au dehors,
Fais naître un renouveau suprême
Au coeur des morts !

Qu'ils ne soient pas les seuls au monde
Pour qui tu restes inféconde,
Saison d'amour !
Mais fais germer dans leur poussière
L'espoir divin de la lumière
Et du retour !
