by Arthur Rimbaud (1854 - 1891)
Language: French (Français)
Par les soirs bleus d'été, j'irai dans les sentiers, Picoté par les blés, fouler l'herbe menue : Réveur, j'en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds. Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tète nue ! Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien : Mais l'amour infïni me montera dans l'âme, Et j'irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien Par la Nature, -- heureux comme avec une femme.
