Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894 / Edinburgh / Scotland)

I love this poem. It is only one of two poems I remember my granddad liking. Everytime I read it it brings back good memories. I must say this is my favorite poem.

I also remember learning this poem in primary school and lately have wanted to visit the poets I love.
I also like John Masefield's 'Sea Fever'.

I have been looking for this Poem for a long time. It is the very first poem I ever had to memorize. I remember the hours my mother spent with me helping me. It helps bring back fond memories of my mother.
