The second of two unaccompanied chorales opus 68, published some time in the 1880s. The first is Calme des Nuits.
| Les fleurs et les arbres, | The flowers and the trees, |
| Les bronzes, les marbres, | The bronzes, the marbles, |
| Les ors, les émaux, | The golds, the enamels, |
| La mer, les fontaines, | The sea, the springs, |
| Les monts et les plaines | The mountains and the plains |
| Consolent nos maux. | Console our pains. |
| Nature éternelle | Eternal nature, |
| Tu sembles plus belle | You seem more beautiful |
| Au sein des douleurs, | To a heart in sorrow, |
| Et l’art nous domine, | And art reigns over us, |
| Sa flame illumine | Its flame illuminates |
| Le rire et les pleurs. | The laughter and the tears. |
