Foreign Lands pdf Poem by Louis Stevenson Read online
Up into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad in foreign lands.
I saw the next door garden lie,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye,
And many pleasant places more
That I had never seen before.
I saw the dimpling river pass
And be the sky’s blue looking-glass;
The dusty roads go up and down
With people tramping in to town.
If I could find a higher tree
Farther and farther I should see,
To where the grown-up river slips
Into the sea among the ships,
To where the road on either hand
Lead onward into fairy land,
Where all the children dine at five,
And all the playthings come alive.

About Louis Stevenson Author of Foreign Lands Poem
Robert Louis Stevenson Author of Foreign Lands was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Nov. 13, 1850. His father (Thomas) was a prosperous second-generation civil engineer. Destined to become a third generation engineer, Robert was not born a healthy baby. Due to his lack of physical strength and also lack of interest in his father’s profession, he decided to study law. He was called to the Bar in 1875, but never did practice. Since childhood he had been most interested in writing. Beginning in 1871 he started contributing to the ‘Edinburgh University Magazine’ and the ‘Portfolio’. In 1876 Stevenson met and fell in love with Fanny Osbourne, an American divorcee ten years his senior.
