Robert Louis Stevenson - The Piper
Work rating: Low

AGAIN I hear you piping, for I know the tune so well, -
You rouse the heart to wander and be free,
Tho` where you learned your music, not the God of song can tell,
For you pipe the open highway and the sea.
O piper, lightly footing, lightly piping on your way,
Tho` your music thrills and pierces far and near,
I tell you you had better pipe to someone else to-day,
For you cannot pipe my fancy from my dear.

You sound the note of travel through the hamlet and the town;
You would lure the holy angels from on high;
And not a man can hear you, but he throws the hammer down
And is off to see the countries ere he die.
But now no more I wander, now unchanging here I stay;
By my love, you find me safely sitting here:
And pipe you ne`er so sweetly, till you pipe the hills away,
You can never pipe my fancy from my dear.
