by Jean-Baptiste Foucart (1823 - 1898)

Hymne pour la fête d'Aristote ou de la philosophie ancienne
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schmitt)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Soulevez un pan de symbole
Qui voilait la réalité ;
Qu'aux ordres de votre parole
Tout dieu se change en entité ;
D'une autre foi montrez l'aurore,
Sages de l'Hellas, Pythagore,
Socrate, et toi, charmant Platon,
Quand près de vous le Stagirite
Après Thalès, déjà médite
L'état normale de la raison.

Des Mythes chassez les nuages,
Sages des temps évanouis ;
Vous deviendrez par nos hommages 
Contemporains de tous les âges,
Citoyens de tous les pays.
