It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1928 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Danse d'Abisag
Or le Roi devint vieux et avancé en âge ; et quoiqu'on le couvrît de vêtemens il ne pouvoit pourtant se réchauffer.
Et ses serviteurs lui dirent : Qu'on cherche au Roi notre Seigneur une jeune fille vierge qui se tienne devant le Roi et qui en ait soin, et qu'elle dorme en son sein afin que le Roi notre Seigneur se réchauffe.
On chercha donc dans toutes les contrées d'Israël une fille qui fût belle ; et on trouva Abisag Sunamite qu'on amena au Roi.
Et cette jeune fille étoit fort belle et elle avoit soin du Roi et elle le servoit ; mais le Roi ne la connût point.
Rois I.
