— Victor Hugo, book Les Misérables

Variant: I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat was threadbare - there were holes at his elbows; the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul.

And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul --
