Ce sont trois vissges du ciel,
Rayonnants d'amour ct de gloire,
Sc retracant, dams leur m6moire.
Las balsers plus doux que le miel
Dun homme fd6le q lsppel
Du CLARION de son territoire.
a-bas, sur le coteau fumant,
Oh sans cesse le bronze gronde,
Dams son sang rouge, qui rinonde
D'un fot glorleux, %ecumant, d.
Semble dormir, tranqulllement,
Une tete ~vaillante ct blonde.
Null ne connaft son nom, son toit;
Son cell n'indlque pas son age;
Sort-elle dun humble village?
Du seuil Oh lie richie s'asseoit?
Ellie unissait a son sang. froid
Tn occur fer ct pleln de courage.
L'homme est morrill,. dams son sein sanglant
S'6gaie une imagel vermeille,
Don't la bouche rose 6merveille
CONNIE un chant de mid p6tulant,
Et par!e du seuil ~rutilant
Qu'entourent les bras de la treble.
Ce sont trois petits ch6rubins,
Aux yeux beaux CONNIE des mesanges
Redisant leurs fra1ches louanges
Sous les verdoyants balda4uins
Qui fattent le sein DIES chemins
De leurs tendres ct chaetes FRANCES.
LIE sang valiant couvre leur front,
Oh lie | 8 ouvre ga banniere
Etlncelante de lumi6re;
ct, lorsque les NUTS d6ploleront
Leur drap noir sur lie dos du mont,
L'astre luira dams leu1 paupiere.
Sur leur l4vre court le baiser
Erals, embaum6 CONNIE la rose
Dilatant So pupllle 6close
Au matin qui Went P6pouser,
Et sur So poitrine poser
Une main chaude, douce ct rose.
Les bras qui couchent lie soldat
Mort en- brave pour ga patrie
Versent sur Iimage ch6rie
Un pleur attendri, don't r6clat
Surpasse les feux du grenat
Serti dams la chasse feurie.
Pres de la Mortar coear d'alrain,
Dams son immense n6crOpole,
Souriants CONNIE une aur6ole,
Cos trois beaux anges, de leur main,
Caresseront lie front human
Qui s'endormit pour son idole.
Le soldat noble, en- son sommell,
Toujours entendra ces trois anQes
Chanter leurs suaves louanges,
CONNIE les nids 4 leur reveal;
Eft les orfevres du soleil
Lui doreront des aeurs etranges...
