Gérard de Nerval: Une femme est l’amour – Poéme

 

 Une femme est l’amour – Poéme

Une femme est l’amour, la gloire et l’espérance;
Aux enfants qu’elle guide, à l’homme consolé.
Elle élève le cœur et calme la souffrance,
Comme un esprit des cieux sur la terre exilé.

Courbé par le travail ou par la destinée,
L’homme à sa voix s’élève et son front s’éclaircit;
Toujours impatient dans sa course bornée,
Un sourire le dompte et son cœur s’adoucit.

Dans ce siècle de fer la gloire est incertaine :
Bien longtemps à l’attendre il faut se résigner.
Mais qui n’aimerail pas. dons sa grâce sereine,
La beauté qui la donne ou qui la fait gagner?

Gérard de Nerval
(1808 – 1855)
