| In the States |
| | | Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–94) |
| |
| |
| WITH half a heart I wander here | |
| As from an age gone by, | |
| A brother—yet though young in years, | |
| An elder brother, I. | |
| |
| You speak another tongue than mine, | 5 |
| Though both were English born. | |
| I towards the night of time decline, | |
| You mount into the morn. | |
| |
| Youth shall grow great and strong and free, | |
| But age must still decay: | 10 |
| To-morrow for the States—for me, | |
| England and Yesterday. | |
