by Rémy de Gourmont (1858 - 1915)

Marie
Language: French (Français) 
Marie,
Amertume des baisers sur les barques du Nil,
Robe de soleil et voile bleu que la nuit caresse,
Marie voyageuse amoureuse et pauvre,
Jetée par l’ouragan dans l’île pénitente,
Et qui brûlas tes lèvres au soufre du Jourdain,
Marie des sables, Marie des palmes, Marie des lions,
Marie nourrie sept ans d’un pain miraculeux,
Sainte Marie, brûlez nos cœurs au feu divin.
