Victor Hugo - The Ocean`s SongVictor Hugo - The Ocean`s Song
Work rating: Low


We walked amongst the ruins famed in story     Of Rozel-Tower, And saw the boundless waters stretch in glory     And heave in power. O Ocean vast! We heard thy song with wonder,     Whilst waves marked time. "Appear, O Truth!" thou sang`st with tone of thunder,     "And shine sublime! "The world`s enslaved and hunted down by beagles,     To despots sold. Souls of deep thinkers, soar like mighty eagles!     The Right uphold. "Be born! arise! o`er the earth and wild waves bounding,     Peoples and suns! Let darkness vanish; tocsins be resounding,     And flash, ye guns! "And you who love no pomps of fog or glamour,     Who fear no shocks, Brave foam and lightning, hurricane and clamour, --     Exiles: the rocks!"
