by Maurice Bouchor (1855 - 1929)

Que d'étoiles dans vos cheveux
Language: French (Français) 
Que d'étoiles dans vos cheveux,
Vierge immaculée !
Vierge qui devinez les vœux
D'une âme troublée !

Votre manteau couleur des cieux,
Ô Reine fleurie,
Q'il est splendide et gracieux,
Ô chaste Marie !

Comme ils sont beaux vos pieds sacrés,
Bénis par le gouffre,
Quand sur la mer vous secourez
Une âme qui souffre !
