À mon frère revenant d'italie


Ainsi, mon cher, tu t'en reviens
Du pays dont je me souviens,
Comme d'un rêve,
De ces beaux lieux où l'orangerNaquit pour nous dédommager
Du péché d'Eve. Tu l'as vu, ce fantôme altier
Qui jadis eut le monde entier
Sous son empire.
César dans sa pourpre est tombé ;Dans un petit manteau d'abbéSa veuve expire. Tu t'es bercé sur ce flot pur
Où Naples enchâsse dans l'azurSa mosaïque,
Oreiller des lazzaroni
Où sont nés le macaroni
Et la musique. Qu'il soit rusé, simple ou moqueur,N'est-ce pas qu'il nous laisse au c?ur
Un charme étrange,
Ce peuple ami de la gaieté
Qui donnerait gloire et beauté
Pour une orange ? Ischia ! c'est là qu'on a des yeux,C'est là qu'un corsage amoureux
Serre la hanche.
Sur un bas rouge bien tiré
Brille, sous le jupon doré,
La mule blanche. Pauvre Ischia ! bien des gens n'ont vu
Tes jeunes filles que pied nu
Dans la poussière.
On les endimanche à prix d'or ;Mais ton pur soleil brille encor
Sur leur misère. Quoi qu'il en soit, il est certain
Que l'on ne parle pas latin
Dans les Abruzzes,Et que jamais un postillonN'y sera l'enfant d'ApollonNi des neuf Muses. Toits superbes ! froids monuments !Linceul d'or sur des ossements !Ci-gît Venise.Là mon pauvre c?ur est resté.S'il doit m'en être rapporté,
Dieu le conduise ! Mais de quoi vais-je ici parler ?Que ferait l'homme désolé,
Quand toi, cher frère,
Ces lieux où j'ai failli mourir,
Tu t'en viens de les parcourir
Pour te distraire? Frère, ne t'en va plus si loin.D'un peu d'aide j'ai grand besoin,
Quoi qu'il m'advienne.Je ne sais où va mon chemin,
Mais je marche mieux quand ta main
Serre la mienne.
