by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Prière
Language: French (Français) 
Les fleurs des Iles heureuses
Au ciel si clair,
D'haleines langoureuses
Parfument l'air ;
Le flot d'azur ramène,
Dans l'or mourant du jour,
De frêles rêves pleine,
La barque du retour !
Et moi, je meurs de ma peine,
Je meurs d'amour !
Tendre Vierge, ô Reine des Roses,
Astre du céleste matin !
Accueille ces lys et ces lierres roses,
L'étoile du myrte et l'encens du thym !
O blanche Madone,
Vois, je te les donne !
Console mon cœur,
Dame au Cœur divin !
