## The words

Les feuilles s’ou- vraient sur le bord des  
branches, Délicatement, Les cloches  
tintaient, légères et franches,  
Dans le ciel clément.  
Rythmique et fervent comme une anti‒ enne,  
Ce lointain appel Me remémo‒ rait la  
blancheur chrétienne Des fleurs de l'autel.  
Ces cloches parlaient d’heureuses années,  
Et dans le grand bois Semblaient rever‒ dir  
les feuilles fanées Des jour d'autrefois.
