Classic poem

Light As The Linnet On My Way I Start

by Robert Louis Stevenson

LIGHT as the linnet on my way I start,

For all my pack I bear a chartered heart.

Forth on the world without a guide or chart,

Content to know, through all man's varying fates,

The eternal woman by the wayside waits.
