Explore "As Seamen on the Seas" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
As seamen on the seas / With song and dance descry / Adown the morning breeze / An islet in the sky: / In Araby the dry, / As o'er the sandy plain / The panting camels cry / To smell the coming rain.
So all things over earth / A common law obey / And rarity and worth / Pass, arm in arm, away; / And even so, today, / The printer and the bard, / In pressless Davos, pray / Their sixpenny reward.
