Where Go the Boats

Where Go The Boats? by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) ' Dark brown is the river, Golden is the sand. It flows along for ever, With trees on either hand. Green leaves a-floating, Castles of the foam, Boats of mine a-boating -Where will all come home? On goes the river And out past the mill, Away down the valley, Away down the hill. Away down the river, A hundred miles or more, Other little children Shall bring my boats ashore .' Illustrations by A.H. Watson from A Child's Garden of Verses Collins 1946 Poems on the Underground The British Council. The British Library (Zweig Programme). designed by Tom Davidson
