Orph​é​e: Que ton coeur soit l'app​â​t et le ciel, la piscine!

from Le Bestiaire .​.​. Guillaume Apollinaire (2018) by Thomas Oboe Lee

lyrics

3. Orpheé:
Que ton coeur soit l’appât et le ciel, la piscine!
Car, pécheur, quel poisson d’eau douce ou bien marine
Égale-t-il, et par la forme et la saveur,
Ce beau poisson divin qu’est JÉSUS, Mon Sauveur?

May your heart be the bait and heaven the pond!
For, sinner, what fish of fresh water or ocean
In form or in flavor can equal
The beautiful, divine fish that is JESUS, My Savior?
