Victor Hugo - An Old-Time Lay
Work rating: Low

Where your brood seven lie,
    Float in calm heavenly,
    Life passing evenly,
Waterfowl, waterfowl! often I dream
        For a rest
        Like your nest,
      Skirting the stream.

    Shine the sun tearfully
    Ere the clouds clear fully,
    Still you skim cheerfully,
Swallow, oh! swallow swift! often I sigh
        For a home
        Where you roam
      Nearing the sky!

    Guileless of pondering;
    Swallow-eyes wandering;
    Seeking no fonder ring
Than the rose-garland Love gives thee apart!
        Grant me soon--
        Blessed boon!
      Home in thy heart!
