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

Annonciation
Language: French (Français) 
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.
