L'étoile
Language: French (Français) 
Regarde, enfant cette étoile tremblante, 
qui sur nous deux rayonne avec amour, 
dans tes cheveux sa lumière mourante, 
se mêle encore aux premiers feux du jour. 
Laisse sa flamme inonder ta paupièге, 
o mon eпfant, car c'est l'œil de ta mèге, 

Ta mère habite au beau pays des Anges 
dans ce pays où des fleuves d'or pur, 
des chérubins, voient glisser les phalanges,
ou les ruisseaux roulent des flots d'azurs
et chaque étoile,  hirondelle legère,
est le regard amoureux d'une mère ! 

La tienne ainsi sans cesse nous regarde, 
son œuil sur toi, veille du haut du ciel
Dieu nous a mis bel enfant sous sa garde ;
son doux rayon, c'est l'amour  maternel ;
Dieu t'a laissé le regard de ton père
Dieu t'a rendu, le regard de ta mère !
