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

Assomption
Language: French (Français) 
Choose for Diff
Ainsi, sans passer par la tombe, 
De la terre où poussent les fleurs 
Au ciel où les Anges font chœur, 
Par le bleu chemin des colombes, 
La Vierge qui n'eut que douleurs 
Et plus qu'aucune mère humaine, 
Endormat dans son cœur sa peine, 
Refermant ses yeux sur ses pleurs, 
S'envola tout droit, soulevée, 
Sur une toile immaculée 
Par un essaim léger d'enfants, 
Pour se réveiller rajeunie, 
Telle qu'au matin de sa vie, 
Quand Dieu lui fit de Dieu présent.
