Child! if I were king, I would give the empire,
And my chariot, and my scepter, and my people on their knees
And my crown of gold, and my baths of porphyry,
And my fleets, for which the sea cannot suffice,
For a look of you!
If I were God, the earth and the air with the waves,
Angels, demons bowed before my law,
And the deep chao

Of reason,

【To My Daughter Adele (A ma fille Adèle)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
As a child, you slept near me, pink and fresh,
Like a baby Jesus dozing in his manger;
Your pure sleep was so calm and lovely
That you didn't hear the bird sing in the shadows;

【To Souls Flown Away (A des âmes envolées)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
These souls that you recall,
My heart, don't come back.
Why then do they persist,
Alas! to stay there?

【Written Beneath a Crucifix (Ecrit au bas d'un crucifix)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
You who weep, come to this God, for he weeps.
You who suffer, come to him, for he cures.
You who tremble, come to him, for he smiles.
You who pass, come to him, for he remains.

【More Strong Than Time (Plus fort que le temps)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Since I have set my lips to your full cup, my sweet,
Since I my pallid face between your hands have laid,
Since I have known your soul, and all the bloom of it,
And all the perfume rare, now buried in the shade;
Since it was given to me

【June Nights (Nuits de juin)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
In summer, when the day has fled, the plain covered with flowers
Pours out far away an intoxicating scent;
Eyes shut, ears half open to noises,
We only half sleep in a transparent slumber.
The stars are purer, the shade seems pleasanter;

【Sunset (Les Soleils Couchants)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
The sun set tonight in the clouds.
Tomorrow will come the storm, and the evening, and the night;
Then dawn, and its clarity of obstructed vapors;
Then the nights, then the days, not of time that flees!

On the face of the seas, on the face of the mountains,
On the silver rivers, on the forests where rolls
Like a confused hymn of the dead that we love.

【Tomorrow at Dawn (Demain, dès l'aube)】
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside brightens,
I will depart. You see, I know that you wait for me.
I will go through the woods, I will go past the mountains.
I cannot remain far from you any longer.
I will walk, eyes set upon my thoughts,

Under the branch of echo.

Under a frond of stars.
