Classic and Contemporary Poetry

SINCE YEARS AGO FOR EVERMORE by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Interminable roads I tread
Subject(s): HOME; CONTENTMENT; LOVE – MARITAL; POETRY & POETS;
Since years ago for evermore
My cedar ship I drew to shore;
And to the road and riverbed
And the green, nodding reeds, I said
Mine ignorant and last farewell:
Now with content at home I dwell,
And now divide my sluggish life
Betwixt my verses and my wife:
In vain; for when the lamp is lit
And by the laughing fire I sit,
Still with the tattered atlas spread
Interminable roads I tread.
