I am bound, I am bound, for a distant shore

by Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

I am bound, I am bound, for a distant shore,
By a lonely isle, by a far Azore,
There it is, there it is, the treasure I seek,
On the barren sands of a desolate creek.

    Neither Bloody Nor Bowed
    by Dorothy Parker
