Les lys bleus
Music: Augusta Holmès (1847–1903) · Words: Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847–1903)
Dans la chapelle blanche, aux pieds de la
statue, Un beau no- vice est prosterné...
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (5:22) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Dans la chapelle blanche, aux pieds de la
statue, Un beau no- vice est prosterné...
Et vers le front charmant d'é- toiles
couronné
Monte une prière éperdue!
« Par- donne si j'ose te parler ainsi,
O mystique Rose qui fleu- ris ici!
Vierge souveraine des autels en fleurs,
Immor- telle Reine aux pures pâleurs!
L'univers implore ta divini - té Moi,
si je t'adore C'est pour
ta beauté!
Fais que dans les parfums et les lueurs du
temple
Je succombe en t'aimant!
Fais que dans le tombeau mon regard te
contemple Eternellement! Car ta bouche
divine Est la Porte du Ciel ! Et ta blancheur
que je devine Mon salut éternel !.. »
Et lorsque dans la tombe avec cérémonie
On eût mis l'enfant radieux,
Deux grands Lys jaillissant de la pierre
bénie, S'ouvrirent comme deux yeux bleus !!
Car la Céleste Belle a permis qu'en son
temple
Le doux mort trop aimant
Par le calice ouvert des Lys Bleus la
contemple Eternelle- ment !!
