Comme Dieu rayonne aujourd'hui
Language: French (Français)
Comme Dieu rayonne aujourd'hui, Comme il exulte, comme il fleurit Parmi ces roses et ces fruits! Comme il murmure en cette fontaine! Ah! comme il chante en ces oiseaux... Qu'elle est suave son haleine Dans l'odorant printemps nouveau! Comme il se baigne dans la lumière Avec amour, mon jeune dieu! Toutes les choses de la terre Sont ses vêtements radieux.
