by Eugène, Marquis de Lonlay (1815 - 1866)

L'ange des prairies
Language: French (Français) 
Pauvres fleurs si vite flétries,
Gardez vos parfums les plus doux ;
Je suis l'ange de ces prairies,
Que Dieu fait descendre vers vous.

Au réveil de l'aurore 
C'est moi qui fais éclore
Vos boutons précieux,
Et les perles brillantes
Que vous livrez tremblantes
A la brise des cieux :
Pauvres fleurs si vite flétries etc.

Ô vous, enfants modestes
De ces vallons agrestes,
Ne quittez pas ces lieux !
Enfants, craignez le monde,
Où toute erreur abonde,
Songez toujours aux cieux.
Pauvres fleurs si vite flétries etc.
