Tomorrow, at Dawn
Victor Hugo
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the moment when the land whitens, I will leave. You see, I know that you are waiting for me. I will go through the forest, I will go across mountains. I cannot stay away from you any longer.
I will walk eyes fixed on my thoughts, Without seeing anything outside, without hearing a noise, Alone, unknown, back hunched, hands crossed, Sorrowed, and the day for me will be as the night.
I will watch neither the evening gold fall, Nor the faraway sails descending upon Harfleur. And when I'll arrive, I will put on your grave A bouquet of green holly and heather in bloom
