Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson

Songs of Travel and Other Verses. 10. I KNOW not how it is with you

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.

1. I Know Not How, But As I Count
2. Requiem
3. Songs of Travel and Other Verses. 18. THE stormy evening closes now in vain
4. To Madame Garschine
5. The Bour-Tree Den
