by Rémy de Gourmont (1858 - 1915)

Agnès
Language: French (Français) 
Agnès,
Agnelle, épouse du feu, Agnelle, amie de l’Agneau,
Agnès, plus forte que la magie des jeunes cheveux,
Agnès, fille sacrée du signe de la croix,
Agnès, Agnelle et Danielle, toi qui caressas
D’une main pure la crinière cruelle des brasiers,
Blanche Agnès, décollée par le glaive aveugle,
Et trempée dans la gloire vierge des lys rouges,
Brebis, Toison, Manteau, trame et chaîne des palliums,
Sainte Agnès, filez pour nous la laine éternelle.
