Here are a few randomly chosen poems from Victor Hugo’s collection “L’Art d’être grand-père” (1877):
L’Art d’être grand-père (1877)
Qu’est-ce que cette terre ? Une tempête d’âmes
Je prendrai par la main les deux petits enfants
La sieste
Ah ! vous voulez la lune ? Où ? dans le fond du puits ?

Chanson pour faire danser en rond les petits enfants
Les griffonnages de l’écolier
Dans le jardin
Les enfants gâtés …
Feel free to explore more of the exquisite poems in the collection “L’Art d’être grand-père” by Victor Hugo. Enjoy your reading!
