'Songs of Travel and Other Verses' is a collection of Stevenson's lyrical and occasional poems that range from love songs to reflections on mortality and the places he's been. The poems were composed during Stevenson's time in Saranac Lake and Vailima, with a mix of Scottish and Samoan influences. Here's an excerpt from one of the poems featured in the collection, entitled 'I know not how it is with you': "I know not how it is with you / I love the first and last / The whole field of the present view / The whole flow of the past."
