Wanderlust, unfettered freedom, and the eternal allure of the open road -- these are the themes that surface time and time again in Robert Louis Stevenson's charming 1896 book of verse, Songs of Travel. Fans of traditional poetry will adore this cycle of thematically interrelated poems that draw parallels between the perils and pleasures of travel and the vulnerability and abandon of romance.

Songs of Travel and other verses by Robert Louis Stevenson (Author), Paula Benitez (Editor) The following collection of verses, written at various times and places, principally after the author's final departure from England in 1887, was sent home by him for publication some months before his death. He had tried them in several different orders and under several different titles, as "Songs and Notes of Travel," "Posthumous Poems," etc., and in the end left their naming and arrangement to the present editor, with the suggestion that they should be added as Book III. to future editions of "Underwoods." This suggestion it is proposed to carry out; but in the meantime, for the benefit of those who possess "Underwoods" in its original form, it has been thought desirable to publish them separately in the present volume. They have already been included in the Edinburgh Edition of the author's works. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Songs of Travel, and Other Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson.It is an 1896 book of poetry by Robert Louis Stevenson. Originally published by Chatto & Windus, it explores the author and travel author's perennial themes. The work gained a new audience and popularity when music was put on Songs of Travel by Ralph Vaughan Williams.Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (Edinburgh, Scotland, November 13, 1850-Vailima, near Apia, Samoa, December 3, 1894) was a British novelist, poet, and essayist. His legacy is a vast work that includes travel chronicles, historical and adventure novels, as well as lyrics and essays. He is mainly known for being the author of some of the most classic adventure and fantasy stories in youth literature, such as Treasure Island, the adventure novel Kidnapped, the historical novel The Black Arrow and the popular horror novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, dedicated to the subject of split personality phenomena and which can be classified as a psychological horror novel. Several of his novels continue to be very famous and some of them have been taken to 20th century cinema several times, partly adapted for children. His essay work, brief but decisive in what refers to the structure of the modern novel of adventures, was also important.

Give to me the life I love, Let the lave go by me, Give the jolly heaven aboveAnd 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 aroundAnd the road before me.Wealth I seek not, hope nor love, Nor a friend to know me;All I seek, the heaven aboveAnd the road below me.Or let autumn fall on meWhere 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 aboveAnd the ro

Excerpt from Songs of the Ambraw and Other Verses HY travel abroad in style and state To stand in line at a foreign gate, In search of a place Where beauty abides, Where the silver waves of the rivers glide O'er sands of gold, to the ocean tide? Here, God has painted the lily as fair, As those that unfold in the foreign air. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Songs of the West and Other Poems Here's a murmuring in the trees, And a sighing on the breeze; There's a calling from the robins on the hill; And it fills my heart with pain And a longing - that is vain To be up and out, a-wandering at my will. There are wildflowers everywhere Shedding fragrance on the air, The butterflies are hurrying to and fro; The squirrels and the bees Are as busy as you please. Out there among the hills where I would go. F or it's there that one can rest. Lying close to Nature's breast. And the breeze's lullaby is low and sweet, 50 I turn my longing eyes Where the stately mountains rise. And the wooded hills are nestling at their feet.
