Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was a Scottish poet, novelist, and travel writer. Born the son of a lighthouse engineer, Stevenson suffered from a lifelong lung ailment that forced him to travel constantly in search of warmer climates. Rather than follow his father’s footsteps, Stevenson pursued a love of literature and adventure that would inspire such works as Treasure Island (1883), Kidnapped (1886), Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), and Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879).

    Table of Contents

    Give to me the life I love,

    Let the lave go by me,

    Give the jolly heaven above

    And the byway nigh me.

    Bed in the bush with stars to see,

    Bread I dip in the river—

    There’s the life for a man like me,

    There’s the life for ever.

    Let the blow fall soon or late,

    Let what will be o’er me;

    Give the face of earth around

    And the road before me.

    Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,

    Nor a friend to know me;

    All I seek, the heaven above

    And the road below me.

    Or let autumn fall on me

    Where afield I linger,

    Silencing the bird on tree,

    Biting the blue finger.

    White as meal the frosty field—

    Warm the fireside haven—

    Not to autumn will I yield,

    Not to winter even!

    Let the blow fall soon or late,

    Let what will be o’er me;

    Give the face of earth around,

    And the road before me.

    Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,

    Nor a friend to know me;

    All I ask, the heaven above

    And the road below me.

    II—YOUTH AND LOVE—I

    Once only by the garden gate

    Our lips we joined and parted.

    I must fulfil an empty fate
