by Casimir Delavigne (1793 - 1843)

Hymne au soleil
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Du soleil qui renaît [bénissons]1 la puissance.
Avec tout l'univers célébrons son retour.
Couronné de splendeur, il se lève, il s'élance.
Le réveil de la terre est un hymne d'amour.
Sept coursiers qu'en partant le Dieu contient à peine,
Enflamment l'horizon de leur brûlante haleine.

O soleil fécond, tu parais!
Avec ses champs en fleurs, ses monts, ses bois épais,
[La]2 vaste mer de tes feux embrasée,
L'univers plus jeune et plus frais,
Des vapeurs [de]3 matin sont brillants de rosée.
