Publisher's Synopsis
Rhymes of a Rolling Stone is a collection of poems by Robert W. Service, a Canadian poet and writer. The book was first published in 1912 and contains over 50 poems that capture the spirit of the early 20th century. The poems are written in a simple and accessible style, and are often humorous and satirical. They cover a wide range of topics, from love and romance to adventure and travel.

The book is considered a classic of Canadian literature and has been widely read and enjoyed by generations of readers.Have ever you heard of the Land of Beyond, That dreams at the gates of the day? Alluring it lies at the skirts of the skies, And ever so far away; Alluring it calls: O ye the yoke galls, And ye of the trail overfond, With saddle and pack, by paddle and track, Let's go to the Land of Beyond!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
