I am bound

"I am bound, I am bound, for a distant shore"  (1849)  by Henry David Thoreau

From A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers

I am bound, I am bound, for a distant shore.
By a lonely isle, by a far Azore,
There it is, there it is, the treasure I seek,
On the barren sands of a desolate creek.
