Les pierreries
 (Sung text for setting by C. Koechlin)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Les flamboyantes Pierreries
Qui parent le glaive des rois
Et les mors de leurs palefrois,
Brillent dans les rouges tueries.

La foule, amante des féeries,
Admire, en ses humbles effrois,
Les flamboyantes Pierreries
Qui parent le glaive des rois.

Et dans les louanges nourries,
Les princesses aux regards froids
Sèment sur leurs corsages droits
Et sur leurs jupes d’or fleuries
Les flamboyantes Pierreries.
