by Albéric Magnard (1865 - 1914)

À Elle
Language: French (Français) 
Le navire, bravant la rafale et les lames,
Bondit comme un cheval affolé de fureur.
Le vent hurle ; les mâts grincent, et le tonnerre
Roule ses vigoureuses gammes.

Mais l'ouragan s'apaise et l'horizon s'éclaire ;
Le flot redevient vert, le ciel redevient bleu ;
Alors les matelots gravement se découvrent,
Et murmurent une prière.

Et vous me comprenez, ô vous dont la tendresse
A dissipé le doute où sombrait ma raison.
Ange de douceur et de charme, 
Vierge de beauté, de bonté !
