Search - Buckwheat, John McEuen, Dan Jones :: Buckwheat At Your Service: The Readings of Robert Service

Robert Service was born in England in 1874. After spending his childhood in Scotland, he went to Canada and commenced the life of wandering and adventure which has given birth to songs, rhymes, ballads and poems that have spread over the entire world. Mr. Service, who escaped to America from the German invasion of France, later returned to that country where he spent the remainder of his days. In his poetry however, he still lives as a vagabond in the hearts of his many readers. Robert Service has caught the spirit of wanderlust latent in every one of us and his verses will live on forever.
