Le temps d'Adonis

Dans la saison qu'Adonis fut blessé,
Mon cœur aussi de l'atteinte soudaine
        D'un regard lancé.

Hors de l'abyme où le temps nous entraîne,
T'évoquerai-je, ô belle, en vain — ô vaines
        Ombres, souvenirs.

Ah ! dans mes bras qui pleurais demi-nue,
Certe serais encore, à revenir,
        Ah ! la bienvenue.
