To Victor Hugo
IMPROMPTU .
Hail unto thee grand literary giant!
Great voice that rings among us like a thunder:
Impeccable, unique, without a blunder,
To all in Nature comprehensive, pliant!
In thy rare art, immense and self-reliant,
Thy pure verse rends old crumbling creeds asunder,
Genius supreme, strange and immortal wonder,
We love thy omniscient heart, thy soul defiant!
We love the changes of thy spirit tender,
Serene, majestic bard with grave brows hoary!
The fortress of thy will knows no surrender,
Poet, philosopher of song and story,
Both foe and friend now celebrate thy splendor,
And unborn ages will proclaim thy glory!
