by Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)

Les anges du Seigneur passent de temps...
Language: French (Français) 
Les anges du Seigneur passent de temps en temps ; 	
Leurs robes dans l'azur font des plis éclatants ; 	
Leurs ailes, qui d'en haut éblouissent nos âmes, 	
Sont des ruissellements de rayons et de flammes ; 	
Ils planent en parlant sur nos fronts-ténébreux ; 	
Les âmes justes vont pensives derrière eux 	
Ramassant ce qui tombe, ainsi que des glaneuses ; 	
Ils disent dans la nuit des choses lumineuses ; 	
Leur lèvre pure, où chante et luit l'éternité, 	
Laisse échapper sans fin un verbe de clarté, 	
Si bien que, lorsqu'ils sont dans nos ombres farouches, 	
À la lueur des mots on peut suivre leurs bouches.
