by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)
All things on earth and sea
Language: English
All things on earth and sea, All that the white stars see, Turns about you and me. And when we two are not, Is darkness like a blot And life and love forgot. But when we pass that way The night breaks into day, The year breaks into May, The earth through all her bowers Carols and breathes and flowers About this love of ours.
