POEM
THE SOWER
PROFILE OF THE POET
• Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French
poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic
Movement. He is considered one of the
greatest and best known French writers. His
best- known works are the acclaimed novels
Les Misérables and Notre- Dame de Paris (The
Hunchback of Notre- Dame). He also produced
more than 4,000 drawings, which have since
been admired for their beauty, and drew
societal concerns.
THE SOWER
• Sitting in a porchway cool,
Fades the ruddy sunlight fast,
Twilight hastens on to rule--
Working hours are well nigh past
Shadows shoot across the lands;
But one sower lingers still,
Old, in rags, he patient stands,--
Looking on, I feel a thrill.
Black and high his silhouette
Dominates the furrows deep!
Now to sow the task is set,
Soon shall come a time to reap.
PORCHWAY
RUDDY SUNLIGHT
FURROWS
•
Marches he along the plain,
To and fro, and scatters wide
From his hands the precious grain;
Moody, I, to see him stride.
Darkness deepens. Gone the light.
Now his gestures to mine eyes
Are august; and strange--his height
Seems to touch the starry skies.
Victor Marie Hugo
