by Maurice Léna (1859 - 1928)

Clio
Language: French (Français) 
Le poète:
A ton geste magique et sûr,
Le temps endormi se réveille ;
Et Pompéi renait, pareille,
Hors de la cendre sous l'azur.
De sa tombe antique à Mycène,
Le Roi masqué d'or s'est levé ;
L'or de son écrin retrouvé
De nouveau brille au col d'Hélène.
O Déesse du Souvenir ! ...
Mais tu prévois aussi ; tu sais la loi des choses ;
Et du même  rayon qui nous montra les causes,
Ta lampe d'or, ô Muse, éclaire l'Avenir !
