Hans Hermans Natuurdagboek: Dans les bois

Dans les bois

Au printemps l’Oiseau naît et chante :
N’avez-vous pas ouï sa voix ? …
Elle est pure, simple et touchante,
La voix de l’Oiseau – dans les bois !

L’été, l’Oiseau cherche l’Oiselle ;
Il aime – et n’aime qu’une fois !
Qu’il est doux, paisible et fidèle,
Le nid de l’Oiseau – dans les bois !

Puis quand vient l’automne brumeuse,
Il se tait… avant les temps froids.
Hélas ! qu’elle doit être heureuse
La mort de l’Oiseau – dans les bois !


Gérard de Nerval (1808-1855)
