Underwoods

by Robert Louis Stevenson from 1887

About

Stevenson's Underwoods (1887) contains poems in English and Scots, including the 'Requiem' ('Home is the sailor, home from the sea') that is engraved on his grave in Samoa. The collection shows Stevenson's range: from the tender English lyrics to the robust Scots verse that connects him to Burns's tradition. As reading material, the English section is more immediately accessible; the Scots poems reward readers who enjoy dialect performance.
