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 !

El Nostre Senyor Jesús, la nostra Dama la Verge, vingueren a veure'm amb vestits daurats, cadascú duia dos retrats, com ciris, una estrella d’or dels cels d’atzur! Tot era una aureola d’un magnífic esclat, el nostre Senyor Jesús s'inclinà cap a mi. L'aire s'omplí d’una música dolça i el meu cor engrandit saltà d'emoció! Perquè el Rei de la Terra em parlà, i em digué: «Estem satisfets de tu». Llavors va reprendre el seu aire de misteri, mentre la Verge em somreia tot el temps! Els vaig contemplar… però, quina cosa més increïble! De sobte era de dia, les parets estaven desertes… Deu ser que m'havia adormit, encara enlluernat, i havia tornat a dormir amb els ulls ben oberts!
