Ceux qui pieusement sont morts pour la patrie
 (Sung text for setting by C. Smulders)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Ceux qui pieusement sont morts pour la patrie
Ont droit qu'à leur cercueil la foule vienne et prie.
Entre les plus beaux noms leur nom est le plus beau.
Toute gloire près d'eux passe et tombe éphémère ;
Et, comme ferait une mère,
La voix d'un peuple entier les berce en leur tombeau !

 ...
