An End of Travel

by Robert Louis Stevenson

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/robert-louis-stevenson_poetry

Let now your soul in this substantial world Some anchor strike. Be here the body moored;⁠— This spectacle immutably from now The picture in your eye; and when time strikes, And the green scene goes on the instant blind⁠— The ultimate helpers, where your horse today Conveyed you dreaming, bear your body dead.

Vailima.
