Angélus
 (Sung text for setting by E. Michotte)
 See base text
Language: French (Français) 
À genoux ! l'angélus appelle !
Le pasteur monte à la chapelle ;
L'aveugle accorde son vieux luth ;
C'est le moment de la prière
Qui veut notre âme toute entière :
Silence, amour, silence, chut !

À genoux ! le village prie,
Et c'est demain qu'on nous marie ;
Dis un Ave pour mon salut !
Hélas ! sans songer à moi-même,
Ne songeons qu'à celui que j'aime :
Silence, amour, silence, chut !

 ...
