A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE, by VICTOR MARIE HUGO Poet's Biography First Line: If some fragrant lawn be found Last Line: For your heart to rest. | |||
IF some fragrant lawn be found, By dews of heaven blest, Where are seen the whole year round Flowers in beauty dressed; Where rose, pink, and lilies rare, All in rich profusion are-- I would make a pathway there For your foot to rest. If there be that well can love Some devoted breast, Which all virtue doth approve, All things base detest; If that bosom always beat To perform heroic feat-- There I find a pillow meet For your brow to rest. If a dream of love there be By all sweets possest, Where each fleeting hour we see Whatsoe'er is best-- Dream, God-hallowed, bright and kind, Where the soul to soul is joined-- There a shelter would I find For your heart to rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A NIGHT IN JUNE by VICTOR MARIE HUGO A UN PASSANT by VICTOR MARIE HUGO A UNE FEMME by VICTOR MARIE HUGO AFTER THE BATTLE by VICTOR MARIE HUGO AN EVENING SCENE by VICTOR MARIE HUGO AN OLD SONG OF A YOUTHFUL TIME by VICTOR MARIE HUGO CHILDHOOD by VICTOR MARIE HUGO CHOSES DU SOIR by VICTOR MARIE HUGO |
