Poem Flow

Here is a poem I received earlier this week via Poem Flow, a new free, mobile application. Enjoy!

Envoy

Robert Louis Stevenson

Go, little book, and wish to all

Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall,

A bin of wine, a spice of wit,

A house with lawns enclosing it,

A living river by the door,

A nightingale in the sycamore!

This week's Poetry Friday Roundup is over at Teaching Books.

Love this! Especially those last two lines. I want a living river by my door (preferably not due to floods, though, which are threatening some Minnesota towns). Thanks for sharing a bit of Stevenson!
