An Autumnal Simile

________________________________________________
Title:     An Autumnal Simile
Author: Victor Hugo [More Titles by Hugo]

("Les feuilles qui gisaient.")


The leaves that in the lonely walks were spread,
Starting from off the ground beneath the tread,
Coursed o'er the garden-plain;
Thus, sometimes, 'mid the soul's deep sorrowings,
Our soul a moment mounts on wounded wings,
Then, swiftly, falls again.








[The end]
Victor Hugo's poem: Autumnal Simile
