Let Me Out Versailles-poem by Nobody: 6:04pm On May 02, 2013 |
On foot I come to France Hoping to have a word with thee, Versailles Though I admit my guilty of lie and false penance But thou hast crushed me upon thy valleys Are you not a paradise, why hast thou place thy cruelty on me? Oh! Versailles, let me out I don't want a throw of my last dice Show me the way,may I return to tell Barcelona of you Thy birds eye, oh Versailles, may I through it, find a way? May thou withdraw thy sword upon me And let thy heavenly flowers against me go astray For I have sing to thee with a precious key Forget, I pray thee, my false penance Withdraw thy beautiful lakes against my way For thy servant shall come back to thee Oh, noble one, let thy fresh smell attack me no more Didn't you promised to take me home? Why hast thou trapped me in thy Orangerie? Are these allure of citrus a road to Barcelona? Thou hast intend to punish me forever? Will thy servant ever return home again? Oh! precious one, take away thy beauty and let me out Withdraw thy summer sands and let thy servant take thee to the Prince of Spain Did I not see the king of France and Navarre? But thou hath let 'im out Do kings harbour no lie? Do they attend to true penance? Why hast thou chastisdd me with thy beautiful lemons? Why hast the fresh pools lay against my way? Let thy water-grass attack me no more And I shall attend to a true penance My dearest Barcelona Here I come to France, on foot But Versailles hath refuse to let go of me I intend to bring back some lemons to thee But, he blocketh my way with his fresh pools I swear to lay down on thy field before dawn But his grass is more like a virgin paradise I swear to stay at thy house again when he lets me out I pray thee, Oh noble Versailles, Let me out. |

This poem is written fom a slave or prisoner prepective and it was set in the 15th,16th...century,I'm sure is not this century. I hope you now understand the reasons for my questions. |

luvmijeje: This poem is written fom a slave or prisoner prepective and it was set in the 15th,16th...century,I'm sure is not this century.I had Louis xiv when I was writing. A king who ruled France and Navarre in the 17-18 century but d slavery perspective is nt all dat accepted. I tink u shuld knw what and where is versailles. |

I disagree with you that it was written from a king perspective. Why would a king walk from barcelona to varseilles? Are there no horses? Why does he have fond memory of barcelona? Doesn't he have an entourage? 'Did I not see the king of France and Navarre. But thou has let im out' also show that this poem was not written from king of France and Navarre perspective. |
