De ta tige détachée, Pauvre feuille desséchée, Où vas-tu ? - Je n'en sais rien. L'orage a brisé le chêne Qui seul était mon soutien. De son inconstante haleine Le zéphyr ou l'aquilon Depuis ce jour me promène De la forêt à la plaine, De la montagne au vallon. Je vais où le vent me mène, Sans me plaindre ou m'effrayer : Je vais où va toute chose, Où va la feuille de rose Et la feuille de laurier.
