by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Les Moutons des anges
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  GER
Là-haut, là-bas voyez-vous errer les nuages
Dans les espaces bleus
Comme de blancs troupeaux rassemblés sur les plages
D'un Océan mystérieux ?
Ces neigeuses phalanges,
Ce ne sont pas des nuages légers,
Ce sont les moutons des Anges.
Car lorsqu'ils ont fini de dire les Louanges,
Tous les Anges sont des bergers.
Clochettes, chantez comme les mésanges
Aux champs étoilés pleins de fleurs de miel !
Sonnez, clochettes du ciel !
Sonnez, clochettes des moutons des Anges !
