Exaucement
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG GER
Alors qu'en tes mains de lumière
Tu poses ton front défaillant,
Que mon amour en ta prière
Vienne comme un exaucement.

Alors que la parole expire
Sur ta lèvre qui tremble encor,
Et s'adoucit en un sourire
De roses en des rayons d'or ;

Alors que tes yeux s'illuminent 
Et fixent en ton sombre sein 
La Visitation divine 
Dont ils sont les miroirs lointains ;

Que ton âme calme et muette,
Fée endormie au jardin clos,
En sa douce volonté faite
Trouve la joie et le repos.
