LIGHT AS THE LINNET ON MY WAY I START by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: The eternal woman by the wayside waits
Subject(s): SEEKING;

Light as the linnet on my way I start,
For all my pack I bear a chartered heart.
Forth on the world without a guide or chart,
Content to know, through all man's varying fates,
The eternal woman by the wayside waits.
