Here you will find the Poem All Winged Creatures I Have Loved of poet Victor Marie Hugo
All the winged creatures I have loved! And when, a child, I 'neath the thicket roved, I from their nests the little birds conveyed? At first, of reeds I cages for them made, Where, mid green mosses, I to tame them tried. Later, I used to leave the windows wide: They flew not off, or if the woods their choice, Still they returned whene'er they heard my voice. A dove and I long lived in friendliness! Now I the art of taming souls possess.
