by Francis Jammes (1868 - 1938)

Maintenant, ô mon Dieu, je sais que...
Language: French (Français) 
Maintenant, ô mon Dieu, je sais que chaque chose 
porte en soi son Mystère et que Vous le savez. 
Ceci est un caillou, ceci est une rose, 
ceci est une femme et ceci un baiser.

Mon Père approchez-vous. Maître, je Vous appelle. 
Inspirez-moi comme le vent qui fait pleurer, 
qui fait pleurer d'amour autour de la chapelle, 
pleurer comme la pluie le chagrin des lauriers !
