by Henri Vangeon (1875 - 1944), as Henri Ghéon

Annonciation
Language: French (Français) 
Choose for Diff
La jeune fille sans rêves, 
Assise dans son jardin, 
S'étonne que du jasmin 
La voix d'un Ange s'élève. 
Que veut ce messager
Et pour qui... cette corbeille ? 
Vous n'avez rien demandé 
Que de demeurer pareille, 
Chaste, sage et chaque jour 
Contente de peu d'amour, 
Résignée à peu de joie... 
C'est tout l'Amour aujourd'hui 
Et toute la Joie aussi
Que le Maître vous envoie ! 
AVE MARIA GRATIA PLENA.
