À une Amie
Combien coeur de Marie est exposé,
non seulement au soleil et à la rosée:
tous les sept glaives l’ont trouvé.
Combien coeur de Marie est exposé.
Ton coeur pourtant me semble plus à l’abri,
malgré le malheur qui en a tant envie,
il est moins exposé que le coeur de Marie.
Le corps de Marie ne fut point une chose;
ta poitrine sur ton coeur est beaucoup plus close,
et même si ta douleur veut qu’il s’expose:
il n’est jamais plus exposé qu’une rose.

Translation
To a Female Friend
How exposed Mary's heart is,
not only to the sun and the dew:
the seven swords found it.
How exposed Mary's heart is!
Your heart, however, seems to me more sheltered,
despite the misfortune that so desires it,
it is less exposed than Mary's heart.
Mary's body was not a thing;
The breast over your heart is much more closed
and even if your pain wants it exposed,
it is never more exposed than a rose
