              L'oiseau chante, l'agneau bêle,
              L'enfant gazouille au berceau, 
              La voix de l'homme se mêle 
              Au bruit des vents et de l'eau,
              L'air frémit, l'épi frissonne, 
              L'insecte au soleil bourdonne, 
              L'airain pieux qui résonne 
              Rappelle au Dieu qui le donne 
              Ce premier soupir du jour ; 
              Tout vit, tout luit, tout remue, 
              C'est l'aurore dans la nue, 
              C'est la terre qui salue 
              L'astre de vie et d'amour !
