Original text and translations
French text
- L’âme évaporée et souffrante,
- L’âme douce, l’âme odorante
- Des lis divins que j’ai cueillis
- Dans le jardin de ta pensée,
- Où donc les vents l’ont-ils chassée,
- Cette âme adorable des lis?
- N’est-il plus un parfum qui reste
- De la suavité céleste
- Des jours ou tu m’enveloppais
- D’une vapeur surnaturelle,
- Faite d’espoir, d’amour fidèle,
- De béatitude et de paix?
- Lyrics: Paul Bourget (1852-1935).
