Robert Louis Stevenson


Songs of Travel and Other Verses. 23. HE hears with gladdened heart the thunder


HE hears with gladdened heart the thunder
Peal, and loves the falling dew;
He knows the earth above and under -
Sits and is content to view.

He sits beside the dying ember,
God for hope and man for friend,
Content to see, glad to remember,
Expectant of the certain end.
