Robert Louis Stevenson - My TreasuresRobert Louis Stevenson - My Treasures
Work rating: Low


These nuts, that I keep in the back of the nest, Where all my tin soldiers are lying at rest, Were gathered in Autumn by nursie and me In a wood with a well by the side of the sea. This whistle we made (and how clearly it sounds!) By the side of a field at the end of the grounds. Of a branch of a plane, with a knife of my own, It was nursie who made it, and nursie alone! The stone, with the white and the yellow and grey, We discovered I cannot tell HOW far away; And I carried it back although weary and cold, For though father denies it, I`m sure it is gold. But of all my treasures the last is the king, For there`s very few children possess such a thing; And that is a chisel, both handle and blade, Which a man who was really a carpenter made.
