Explore "The Enchanted Traveller" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We travelled empty-handed / With hearts all fear above, / For we ate the bread of friendship, / We drank the wine of love.
Through many a wondrous autumn, / Through many a magic spring, / We hailed the scarlet banners, / We heard the blue-bird sing.
We looked on life and nature / With the eager eyes of youth, / And all we asked or cared for / Was beauty, joy, and truth.
We found no other wisdom, / We learned no other way, / Than the gladness of the morning, / The glory of the day.
So all our earthly treasure / Shall go with us, my dears, / Aboard the Shadow Liner, / Across the sea of years.
