Paysage

À deux pas de la mer qu'on entend bourdonner,
Je sais un coin perdu de la terre bretonne
Où j'aurais tant aimé, pendant les jours d'automne,
    Chère, à vous emmener !

Des chênes faisant cercle autour d'une fontaine,
Quelques hêtres épars, un vieux moulin désert,
Une source dont l'eau claire a le reflet vert
    De vos yeux de sirène ;

 ... 

La mésange, au matin, sous la feuille jaunie,
Viendrait chanter pour nous, et la mer nuit et jour
Viendrait accompagner nos caresses d'amour
    De sa basse infinie.
