Foreign Lands

This winsome poem from Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses depicts a child's view of the world from atop a tree. It is set in the most charming way, with a playful melody, complementary counterlines and a nimble piano accompaniment. "Up into the cherry tree, who should climb but little me? I held the trunk with both my hands, and looked abroad in foreign lands..." This is simply delightful! Highly recommended!
