Analysis of L'Impuissance de Dieu
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Dieu voudrait sauver Lucifer
Qui brûle, depuis tant d’années,
Au milieu des flammes damnées
De son épouvantable Enfer.
Mais l’Archange hautain et fier
Ne tend pas ses mains calcinées :
Dieu voudrait sauver Lucifer
Qui brûle depuis tant d’années.
En vain sur son trône de fer,
Satan garde encore, obstinées,
Ses révoltes impardonnées
Et triomphe d’avoir souffert,
Dieu voudrait sauver Lucifer !
