Explore "To Willie and Henrietta" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If two may read aright / These rhymes of old delight / And house and garden play, / You two, my cousins, and you only, may.
You in a garden green / With me were king and queen, / Were hunter, soldier, tar, / And all the thousand things that children are.
Now in the elders' seat / We rest with quiet feet, / And from the window-bay / Watch the children, our successors, play.
"Time was," the golden head / Irrevocably said; / But time which none can bind, / While flowing fast away, leaves love behind.
