Songs as sweet as summer brings, <br />To your flowery lawn should fly <br />If my verses had the wings— <br />Wings of birds that haunt the sky. <br /> <br />Like the spark that upward springs, <br />They would seek your smiling hearth, <br />If my verses had the wings— <br />Wings such as a spirth hath. <br /> <br />Near you, close as ivy clings, <br />They would dwell by night and day <br />If my verses had the wings— <br />Wings like love to speed the way.<br /><br />Victor Marie Hugo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-my-verses-had-the-wings/
