Ascension

"Mon Fils, me quittez-vous encore ?
J'ai peine à soutenir la vue
De votre visage dans l'or 
De cette triomphale nue ! 
Pour la troisième fois perdue, 
Si vou rentrez au sein du Père, 
Me serez-vous jamais rendu 
Et redescendrez-vous sur terre ? 
C'est vous, ma Mère, qui, demain, 
Gravirez le même chemin,
Pour ne plus jamais redescendre. 
Mon Fils, mes pieds déjà sont las 
De traîner mon corps ici-bas ! 
Vous n'aurez que les bras à tendre." 
SANCTUS.
