Y vuela, vuela como la a londra a los cielos,
cuando tanta claridad pasa ante sus ojos,
que ella desciende deslumbrada en medio de las flores,
de aquellas que perfuman su nido, su alma , su sueño
y lustran su plumaje ardiente por el sol !
...
Cuando amé sin saber que amaba, cuando el alma
me palpitaba feliz y de qué? No lo sé;
cuando toda natura era perfume y llama,
cuando mis dos brazos se abrían ante esos días... idos
Qui me rendra ces jours où la vie a des ailes
Et vole, vole ainsi que l'alouette aux cieux,
Lorsque tant de clarité passe devant ses yeux,
Qu'elle tombe éblouie au fond des fleurs, de celles
Qui parfument son nid, son âme, son sommeil,
Et lustrent son plumage ardé par le soleil !
Ciel ! un de ces fils d'or pour ourdir ma journée,
Un débris de ce prisme aux brillantes couleurs !
Au fond de ces beaux jours et de ces belles fleurs,
Un rêve ! où je sois libre, enfant, à peine née,
Quand l'amour de ma mère était mon avenir,
Quand on ne mourait pas encor dans ma famille,
Quand tout vivait pour moi, vaine petite fille !
Quand vivre était le ciel, ou s'en ressouvenir,
Quand j'aimais sans savoir ce que j'aimais, quand l'âme
Me palpitait heureuse, et de quoi ? Je ne sais ;
Quand toute la nature était parfum et flamme,
Quand mes deux bras s'ouvraient devant ces jours... passés.
--Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (1786-1859)
