by Henri Vangeon (1875 - 1944)

Agonie au jardin
Language: French (Français) 
Chosen for Diff
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 sien ? 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.
