SONGS OF TRAVEL: 10, by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I know not how it is with you Last Line: And every bramble dear. Alternate Author Name(s): Stevenson, Robert Lewis Balfour Subject(s): Life; Love | ||||||||
I KNOW not how it is with you -- I love the first and last, The whole field of the present view, The whole flow of the past. One tittle of the things that are, Nor you should change nor I -- One pebble in our path -- one star In all our heaven of sky. Our lives, and every day and hour, One symphony appear: One road, one garden -- every flower And every bramble dear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A GOOD PLAY by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON |
