La Marchande D’Herbes Aromatiques

Stéphane Mallarmé

Ta paille azur de lavandes,
Ne crois pas avec ce cil
Osé que tu me la vendes
Comme a l’hypocrite s’il

En tapisse la muraille
De lieux les absolus lieux
Pour le ventre qui se raille
Renaître aux sentiments bleus.

Mieux entre une envahissante
Chevelure ici mets-la
Que le brin salubre y sente
Zéphirine, Paméla

Ou conduise vers l’époux
Les prémices de tes poux.
