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. | ||||||||
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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE by VICTOR MARIE HUGO 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 |
