La Pêche de l’ambre
Language: French (Français) 
  Brise du soir, amène sur la plage
  Avec les flots doucement agités
  L’ambre éclatant, trésor de ce rivage,
  Seul ornement de nos jeunes beautés.

Que le corail vermeil dans un autre hémisphère
Aux belles d’Orient prête son incarnat,
La Vierge au teint de lys en nos climats préfère
De l’ambre aux perles d’or le pur et doux éclat.

Prémices des parfums que la mer nous présente,
Vous brulerez demain sur l’autel de Freya
Mais des cristaux dorés et l’élite brillante
Se rassemblent en collier pour la blanche Irmeia.
