by Henri Vangeon (1875 - 1944)

Agonie au jardin
Language: French (Français) 
Ses compagnons endormis dans l'ombre;
Son Père au ciel et se refusant;
Un vide affreux où l'amour succombe;
Pas un oiseau dans l'arbre tremblant...

N'y a-t-il donc que Jésus qui veille
Dans la prison d'une nuit sans fin?
Qu'un abandon, le sein? Qu'une oreille
En vain tendue aux voix du matin?

Dans sa maison, la fenêtre ouverte
Sur la colline qui fut si verte
À comtempler, au temps du bonheur,

La Mère aussi souffre l'agonie
Du Fils absent que son Père oublie
Et doit garder pour elle ses pleurs.
