Lyrics
1- Le soir étend sur la plaine son grand manteau de velours
Et le camp calme et solitaire se recueille en ton amour.
R- O Vierge de lumière, étoile de nos coeurs,
Entends notre prière, Notre Dame des éclaireurs.
2- O douce dame aux étoiles, jette un regard sur ce camp
Où tes fils sous leurs freles toiles vont dormir en t’invoquant.
3- O toi plus blanche que neige dans ton manteau virginal,
Ta beauté, Vierge, nous protège contre la laideur du mal.
4- Fais-nous quitter l’existence joyeux et pleins d’abandon,
Comme un scout après les vacances s’en retourne à la maison.
