    Charles Cros: Le hareng saur

    C  h  a  r  l  e  s   C  r  o  s

    (1842-1888)

     

    L e   h a r e n g   s a u r

    A Guy

    Il était un grand mur blanc – nu, nu, nu,
    Contre le mur une échelle – haute, haute, haute,
    Et, par terre, un hareng saur – sec, sec, sec.

    Il vient, tenant dans ses mains – sales, sales, sales,
    Un marteau lourd, un grand clou – pointu, pointu, pointu,
    Un peloton de ficelle – gros, gros, gros.

    Alors il monte à l’échelle – haute, haute, haute,
    Et plante le clou pointu – toc, toc, toc,
    Tout en haut du grand mur blanc – nu, nu, nu.

    Il laisse aller le marteau – qui tombe, qui tombe, qui tombe,
    Attache au clou la ficelle – longue, longue, longue,
    Et, au bout, le hareng saur – sec, sec, sec.

    Il redescend de l’échelle – haute, haute, haute,
    L’emporte avec le marteau – lourd, lourd, lourd,
    Et puis, il s’en va ailleurs – loin, loin, loin.

    Et, depuis, le hareng saur – sec, sec, sec,
    Au bout de cette ficelle – longue, longue, longue,
    Très lentement se balance – toujours, toujours, toujours.

    J’ai composé cette histoire – simple, simple, simple,
    Pour mettre en fureur les gens – graves, graves, graves,
    Et amuser les enfants – petits, petits, petits.
