by René-François Sully-Prudhomme (1839 - 1907)

Ici, devant les merveilles
Language: French (Français) 
Ici, devant les merveilles 
Aux œuvres d'un dieu pareilles 
Que par ses bras et ses veilles 
Fait surgir le genre humain, 
Oh ! mes sœurs ! mes sœurs ! quel rêve 
De sublime et douce trêve 
Comme une aube en nous se lève ! 
Paradis réel demain 
Si, sevrés de sang, de larmes, 
Allégés du poids des armes, 
Les peuples, libres d'alarmes, 
Marchaient la main dans la main.
