Explore "Far Away" by Lewis Carroll on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ He stept so lightly to the land, / All in his manly pride: / He kissed her cheek, he clasped her hand; / Yet still she glanced aside. / "Too gay he seems," she darkly dreams, / "Too gallant and too gay, / To think of me -- poor simple me -- / When he is far away!"
/ "I bring my Love this goodly pearl / Across the seas," he said: / "A gem to deck the dearest girl / That ever sailor wed! " / She holds it tight: her eyes are bright: / Her throbbing heart would say / "He thought of me -- he thought of me -- / When he was far away!"
