Une Sainte en son auréole, Une Châtelaine en sa tour, Tout ce que contient la parole Humaine de grâce et d'amour. La note d'or que fait entendre [Un cor dans le lointain des bois]1 des bois, Mariée à la fierté tendre Des nobles Dames d'autrefois; Avec cela le charme insigne D'un frais sourire triomphant Éclos [de]2 candeurs de cygne Et des rougeurs de femme-enfant; Des aspects nacrés, blancs et roses, Un doux accord patricien: Je vois, j'entends toutes ces choses Dans son nom Carlovingien.

Una santa en la seva aurèola, una castellana a la seva torre, tot el que conté la paraula humana de gràcia i d’amor. La nota d’or que fa sentir el corn a les llunyanies del bosc, casada amb la tendra altivesa de les nobles dames d’antany; amb això, l’encís insigne d’un fresc somriure triomfant desclòs en el candor d’un cigne i el rubor de dona-infant; aspectes nacrats, blancs i roses, una dolça aristocràtica harmonia: jo veig, sento totes aquestes coses en el seu nom carolingi.
