by Louis Charles Alfred de Musset (1810 - 1857)

Qu'on voile les tambours que le prêtre...
Language: French (Français) 
Qu'on voile les tambours que le prêtre s'avance.
À genoux, compagnons, tête nue, et silence.
Qu'on dise devant nous la prière des morts.
Nous voulons au tombeau porter le capitaine.
Il est mort en soldat sur la terre chrétienne.
L'âme appartient à Dieu ; l'armée aura le corps.
