Victor Hugo - Esmeralda In Prison
Work rating: Low

[OPERA OF "ESMERALDA," ACT IV., 1836.]


Phoebus, is there not this side the grave,
            Power to save
Those who`re loving? Magic balm
That will restore to me my former calm?
Is there nothing tearful eye
Can e`er dry, or hush the sigh?
I pray Heaven day and night,
As I lay me down in fright,
To retake my life, or give
All again for which I`d live!
Phoebus, hasten from the shining sphere
            To me here!
Hither hasten, bring me Death; then Love
May let our spirits rise, ever-linked, above!
