SONG, by VICTOR MARIE HUGO Poet's Biography
First Line: Beauty to boast, methinks 'tis rather late
Last Line: Pilgrim, with smiles I death's approach can wait.
First Line: Beauty to boast, methinks 'tis rather late
Last Line: Pilgrim, with smiles I death's approach can wait.
BEAUTY to boast, methinks 'tis rather late,
Queen Margaret: in the flowerless fields the snow
Will soon descend, and icy winds will blow.--
Pilgrim, with smiles I Winter's change await.
Beauty to boast, methinks 'tis rather late,
Star of the evening, when each faded ray
Is now restored to the great orb of day.--
Pilgrim, with smiles I the Night's change await.
Beauty to boast, methinks 'tis rather late,
My soul--what! joyous 'neath my load of woes?
Dazzled, I see your wings with pride unclose.--
Pilgrim, with smiles I Death's approach can wait.
