In archaic English, "orisons" - usually used in the plural - means "prayers". Shakespeare uses it in Hamlet (speaking to Ophelia): "Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remembered."
Forgot to put: in French, it's "Oraison, priere" (f).

Don't you mean "horizons"? That means the same as in English. It's the line dividing the sky from the earth or the sea, in any landscape.

It's older English... the word you are looking for is "horizon" or "l'horizon"

Sorry, it is not in the Larousse French Dictionary...and I had never heard it before, so I don't know where else to look for it.
Perhaps if you wrote the poem???
