Written mostly after Stevenson left Britain for good in 1887 and published after his death under Sidney Colvin’s editing, these lyrics range from The Vagabond, set to an air of Schubert, to songs of youth and love, homesick poems of Scotland, and lines written at Waikiki for the young Hawaiian princess Kaiulani.
A short, much-loved collection that shows Stevenson’s gift for song and exile’s longing. Download the free EPUB.
