1 On disait qu'il venait d'Angers, qu'il ne savait pas dire
un mot
Sur la place du marché il fut entouré de badauds
Les uns chuchotaient "il n'est pas normal", et d'autres
criaient "c'est un animal
Mais qu'est-ce que vous attendez pour chasser cet idiot,
pour chasser cet idiot"
2 Ses cheveux lui tombaient en mèches il se tenait
recroquevillé
"C'est le diable qui l'empêche de marcher le tête levée"
Le curé lui tendit un pot de lait qu'il lapa bruyamment et
d'un seul trait
"Faudrait qu'on l'abreuve à la crèche c'est Satan
incarné"
3 Mon père qui en ce temps-là était maître d'école au
village
Alla vers lui tendant son bras malgré les mots de
l'entourage
Mon père lui parla doucement, l'étranger murmura en
bégayant
Un nom qui sonnait par endroit comme le nom de Gaspard
4 Mon père le prit avec lui et Gaspard hésita un peu
Ma mère lui lava ses habits et lui coupa les cheveux
Mon père alors lui apprit à parler, à lire, à écrire et
à calculer
Et mon père disait de lui. "quel garçon prodigieux"
5 Près de l'école il y avait un champ de quelque cinq
hectares
Que la commune nous bayait, j'y travaillais avec Gaspard
Comme la récolte était bonne, après les dures journées
en automne
Les paysans nous maudissaient quand on rentrait le soir
6 Plus tard après Noël passé, nos sorties devinrent plus
rares
Et puis vint ce jour de janvier étouffé d'un épais
brouillard
Gaspard ne rentra pas pour le repas, moi je guettais le
bruit de son pas
Mon père gronda excédé "mais que fait donc Gaspard"
7 On l'a trouvé au petit matin dans la neige rouge de sang
Couché dans le petit chemin qui va de l'école au champ
Ses yeux ne reflétaient pas la peur mais seulement une
infinie stupeur
Ou comme l'immense chagrin d'être haï autant
8 Un commissaire de passage enquêta fort hâtivement
L'abbé fit le discours d'usage qui nous consola tous
bougrement
Le champ depuis est resté en jachère, les gens, leurs
chiens ne nous font plus la guerre
Quand je vais au village par le chemin des champs.
