Answers
Answer:
I suppose a year ago would have been the best time to post about this poem, since that is when we left the rental farmhouse we had occupied for 16 months. But “Farewell to the Farm” by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) also captures the mood of the end of summer — something on my mind as I prepare to start the kids’ school lessons next week.
The Poem
The coach is at the door at last;
The eager children, mounting fast
And kissing hands, in chorus sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
To house and garden, field and lawn,
The meadow-gates we swang upon,
To pump and stable, tree and swing,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
And fare you well for evermore,
O ladder at the hayloft door,
O hayloft where the cobwebs cling,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
Crack goes the whip, and off we go;
The trees and houses smaller grow;
Last, round the woody turn we sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!
The Manuscript
The manuscript of “Farewell to the Farm” is held at the National Library of Scotland. (According to their website, Stevenson’s papers were scattered around the world and are now found in many different libraries and archives.)
