November 13, 1850 / Edinburgh, Scotland - December 3, 1894 / Vailima, Samoa
Light As The Linnet On My Way I Start
LIGHT as the linnet on my way I start,
For all my pack I bear a chartered heart.
Forth on the world without a guide or chart,
Content to know, through all man's varying fates,
The eternal woman by the wayside waits.
