Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson

* * *

MY love was warm; for that I crossed
The mountains and the sea,
Nor counted that endeavour lost
That gave my love to me.

If that indeed were love at all,
As still, my love, I trow,
By what dear name am I to call
The bond that holds me now

3. An English Breeze
4. Sonet VI. As in the Hostel by the Bridge I Sate
5. As One Who Having Wandered All Night Long
