Foreign Lands Where Go the Boats?


Up into the cherry tree Dark brown is the river,
Who should climb but little me? Golden is the sand.
I held the trunk with both my hands It flows along forever,
And looked abroad in foreign lands. With trees on either hand.
I saw the next door garden lie, Green leaves a-floating,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye, Castles of the foam.
And many pleasant places more Boats of mine a-boating—
That I had never seen before. Where will they come home?
I saw the dimpling river pass On goes the river
And be the sky’s blue looking-glass; And out past the mill.
The dusty roads go up and down Away down the valley.
With people tramping in to town. Away down the hill.
If I could find a higher tree Away down the river,
Farther and farther I should see, A hundred miles or more,
To where the grown-up river slips Other little children
Into the sea among the ships, Shall bring my boats ashore.
To where the roads on either hand -Robert Louis Stevenson
Lead onward into fairy land,
Where all the children dine at five,
And all the playthings come alive.
-Robert Louis Stevenson
