Essor!
Language: French (Français) 
Viens, nos coursiers auront des ailes
Pour voler au delà des mers,
Plus légers que les étincelles,
Plus rapides que les éclairs.

Nul ne suivra notre trace,
Dans l'air, où nous serons perdus,
Je t'emporterai dans l'espace,
Plus loin que les mondes connus.

Cesse de trembler sous tes voiles,
Laisse tes bras aux miens unis,
Viens, nous franchirons les étoiles
Plus haut que les cieux infinis.

Et là, dans les sphères nouvelles,
Seuls, au fond de l'immensité,
Dureront nos amours fidèles,
Plus longtemps que l'éternité !
