Puisque la nuit remonte au ciel et dans nos coeurs, Puisque l'heure est venue où chacun fait le compte De ses travaux, de ses douleurs, de ses rancoeurs. Nous te prions encor puisque la nuit remonte ! O Vierge, sois clémente au dernier Angélus Qui berce le sommeil de la terre en tourmente ! Qu'aux misères du jour nous ne pensions plus ! A nos péchés humains, ô vierge sois clémente ! Dans la vie éternelle où la nuit ne vient pas Emportés par le vent que seules font les ailes Des divins Angelots nos Ave Maria Te chantent notre amour dans la vie éternelle.
