7. Berceuse
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Quand l’enfant s’endort dans son berceau blanc
Son ange gardien, d’un geste très lent,
Le prend dans ses bras, sourit et s’envole,
Et sur ses cheveux pose une auréole.

Ainsi chaque nuit les enfantelets,
S’en vont à travers les cieux étoilés
Vers le Paradis, guidés par les anges,
Les enfantelets perdus dans leurs langes.

La mère en veillant le berceau tout blanc,
Voit l’enfant sourire et songe en tremblant:
“Le ciel et si beau! Pourvu qu’il revienne!”
Et la Vierge Mère alors, le ramène.
