Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Home and Early Haunts of Robert Louis Stevenson: With Twelve Illustrations in Photogravure Including New Portrait by W. Brown Macdougall
Were dearer than the fountains Of the land that drew him forth.
How soft had been his sleeping Beneath his country's sod, Within the quiet keeping Of the acre green of God, With the daisied turf for cover Where the drowsy shadows lie, And the throstle singing over, And the ash against the sky.
But though in vain his yearning For the land he shall not greet, And though no Spring, returning, Shall tempt his tarrying feet.
