by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Hymne au soleil
Language: French (Français) 
Soleil sacré ! Splendeur ! Amour !
Surgis de l'ombre, ô Roi vermeil !
Le ciel sourit à ton retour,
La mer s'embrase à ton réveil !
Le pré s'émaille,
Chêne et broussaille,
Le bois tressaille
De te revoir !
L'horizon fume,
Au loin, la brume
Tremble et s'allume,
Vaste encensoir !
L'horizon fume,
Au loin la brume
tremble et s'allume,
Vaste encensoir !
Le rêve obscur berçait nos cœurs ;
Un noir bandeau couvrait nos yeux,
Bannis le songe et les terreurs,
Rallume en nous l'espoir joyeux !
Démons sans nombre
De la nuit sombre,
Fuyez, dans l'ombre précipités !
O jour sublime !
Le mal, le crime
Meurt dans l'abîme
De tes clartés !
