THE FAR-FARERS by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE BROAD SUN / THE BRIGHT DAY
Last Line: RETURN NO MORE.
Subject(s): TRAVEL; JOURNEYS; TRIPS;

The broad sun,
The bright day,
White sails
On the blue bay:
The far-farers
Draw away.
Light the fires
And close the door.
To the old homes.
To the loved shore.
The far-farers
Return no more.
