by Ioannes Papadiamantopoulos (1856 - 1910), as Jean Moréas

Théone

 Matches base text
Language: French (Français)

Sauvons-nous du souci d'un jour!
Théone, cédons à l'amour,
Cédons à Vénus Cyprienne
Que le myrte à la verveine tors
(D'autres diront la vie est ses torts!)
Peinture tes chevuex que l'écaille hausse.
Je dirai la vipère au bandeau 
Des femmes de la Thrace, et l'eau 
Sacrée de la fontaine Tilfosse.
Fais ton corps docile au coussin,
Ceinturée de perles indiques.
Je dirai, comme au doux essaim
Des Favones rouvrent leur sein,
Les gracieuses heures véridiques.
