by Paul Barthélemy Jeulin (1863 - 1936), as Paul Gravollet

Monseigneur Jésus
Language: French (Français)

Monseigneur Jésus, ma dame la Vierge,
Sont venus me voir en habits dorés,
Chacun deux portrait, en guise de cierge,
Une étoile d’or des cieux azurés !

Tout auréolé d’éclat magnifique,
Monseigneur Jésus s’est penché vers moi.
L’air était rempli de douce musique
Et mon cœur gonflé tressautait d’émoi !

C’est qu’il m’a parlé le roi de la terre,
Il m’a dit: “De toi, nous sommes contents.”
Puis il a repris son air de mystère,
La vierge, elle, m’a souri tout le temps !

Je les contemplais… mais chose inouïe !
Voici qu’il fait jour, les murs sont déserts…
J’ai dû m’assoupir encore éblouie
Et me rendormir les yeux grands ouverts !
