A Child’s Garden of Verses
“Farewell to the Farm”
Robert Louis Stevenson
 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!
