Where Go the Boats?

by Robert Louis Stevenson


Dark brown is the river,
Golden is the sand.
It flows along forever,
With trees on either hand.

Green leaves a floating,
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating—
Where will all come home?

On goes the river
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.

Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.

I love that poem. I hadn't seen it for quite a while; I'd forgotten about it. :) R. L. Stevenson is one of my favorite authors; very fun.

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

www.americanlegends.info

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,
David
