IF MY VERSES HAD THE WINGS, by VICTOR MARIE HUGO Poet's Biography First Line: Songs as sweet as summer brings Last Line: Wings like love to speed the way. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
SONGS as sweet as summer brings To your flowery lawn should fly, If my verses had the wings-- Wings of birds that haunt the sky. Like the spark that upward springs, They would seek your smiling hearth, If my verses had the wings-- Wings such as a spirit hath. Near you, close as ivy clings, They would dwell by night and day, If my verses had the wings-- Wings like love to speed the way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
