L'Océan sonore Palpite sous l'œil De la lune en deuil Et palpite encore, Tandis qu'un éclair Brutal et sinistre Fend le ciel de bistre D'un long zigzag clair, Et que chaque lame En bonds convulsifs Le long des récifs Va, vient, luit et clame, Et qu'au firmament, Où l'ouragan erre, Rugit le tonnerre Formidablement.
