THE GENTLE TRAVELLER by HENRY VAN DYKE

First Line: THROUGH MANY A LAND YOUR JOURNEY RAN
Last Line: "WAS IN YOUR ARMS, MY DEAR!"
Subject(s): LOVE;
"THROUGH many a land your journey ran,
And showed the best the world can boast:
Now tell me, traveller, if you can,
The place that pleased you most."

She laid her hands upon my breast,
And murmured gently in my ear,
"The place I loved and liked the best
Was in your arms, my dear!"
