Si je n’étais captive,
J’aimerais ce pays,
Et cette mer plaintive,
Et ces champs de maïs,
Et ces astres sans nombre,
Si, le long du mur sombre,
N’étincelait dans l’ombre
Le sabre des spahis.

Je ne suis pas Tartare,
Pour qu’un eunuque noir
M’accorde ma guitare,
Me tienne mon miroir.
Bien loin de ces Sodomes,
Au pays dont nous sommes,
Avec les jeunes hommes
On peut parler le soir.

Pourtant j’aime une rive,
Où jamais des hivers
Le souffle froid n’arrive
Par les vitraux ouverts.
L’été, la pluie est chaude;
L’insecte vert qui rôde
Luit, vivante émeraude,
Sous les brins d’herbe verts.

J’aime en un lit de mousses
Dire un air espagnol,
Quand mes compagnes douces,
Du pied rasant le sol,
Légion vagabonde
Où le sourire abonde,
Font tournoyer leur ronde
Sous un rond parasol.

Mais surtout quand la brise
Me touche en voltigeant,
La nuit, j’aime être assise,
Être assise en songeant,
L’œil sur la mer profonde,
Tandis que, pâle et blonde,
La lune ouvre dans l’onde
Son éventail d’argent.
