Prière
 (Sung text for setting by A. Honegger)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Mon Dieu, vous m'avez appelé parmi les hommes,
Me voice, je souffre et j'aime.
J'ai parlé avec la voix que vous m'avez donnée,
J'ai écrit avec les mots que vous avez ensiegnés
A ma mère et à mon père, qui me les ont transmis.
Je passe sur la route comme un âne chargé
Dont rient les enfants et qui baisse la tête.
Je m'en irai où vous voudrez, quand vous voudrez.
L'Angélus sonne.
