## The words

Vous savez, Seigneur, ma misère!  
Voyez ce que je vous apporte Des fleurs  
mauvaises de la terre  
Et du soleil sur une morte  
Voyez aussi ma lassitude,  
La lune éteinte et l'aube noire;  
Et fécon- dez ma solitude En l'arrosant de  
votre gloire.  
Ouvrezmoi, Seigneur, votre voie,  
Eclairez mon âme lasse  
Car la tristesse de ma joie Semble de l'herbe  
sous la glace.
