How radiant God is

Gabriel Fauré

How radiant God is today,

how he exults, how he blossoms,

in these flowers and fruits!

How he murmurs in this stream!

Ah, how he sings in these birds...

How sweet his breath is

in the fragrant new springtime!

How he bathes in the light

with Eros, my young god!

All things on Earth

are his radiant garments!
