Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, ed. Poems of Places: An Anthology in 31 Volumes.
England: Vols. I–IV. 1876–79. | | | | Introductory | | The Traveller | | Oliver Goldsmith (1730–1774) |
| | | REMOTE, unfriended, melancholy, slow, | |
| Or by the lazy Scheld or wandering Po; | |
| Or onward, where the rude Carinthian boor | |
| Against the houseless stranger shuts the door; | |
| Or where Campania’s plain forsaken lies, | 5 |
| A weary waste expanding to the skies; | |
| Where’er I roam, whatever realms I see, | |
| My heart untravelled fondly turns to thee, | |
| Still to my brother turns with ceaseless pain | |
| And drags at each remove a lengthening chain. * * * * * | 10 | | | |
