Explore "Bright Is the Ring of Words" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Bright is the ring of words / When the right man rings them, / Fair the fall of songs / When the singer sings them.
Still they are carolled and said --
On wings they are carried --
After the singer is dead / And the maker buried.
Low as the singer lies / In the field of heather, / Songs of his fashion bring / The swains together.
And when the west is red / With the sunset embers, / The lover lingers and sings / And the maid remembers.
