by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Les exilés
Language: French (Français) 
O Patrie
Triste et meurtrie,
Pauvre terre au doux ciel bleu !
Vois nos larmes !
Sans pain, sans armes,
Nous venons te dire adieu !

La mémoire
De notre gloire
Seule encor peut nous unir !
O ma mère !
Notre âme amère
N'a plus foi dans l'avenir !

O montagnes,
Vertes campagnes,
Blancs clochers de nos hameaux,
Fiancées,
O délaissées,
Qui souffrez de tous nos maux !

Sur les ondes
Des mers profondes
Sans espoir et sans amours,
Loin des grèves,
Pleurant nos rêves,
Nous partons et pour toujours !

Espérance
De délivrance,
Noble soif des beaux combats,
Harpe et livre !
Force de vivre !
Ne nous abandonnez pas !

Voici l'heure !
Le vent qui pleure
Nous conduit sous d'autres cieux !
O Patrie !
Mère chérie !
Reçois nos derniers adieux !
