can anyone please give a brief summary on the poem "travel" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Thank you

R L Stevenson uses vivid images and metaphors in the poem 'Travel'. The narrator invokes images of a place with wondrous things like golden apples and sunny skies. He makes reference to the marooned traveller Robinson Crusoe and exotic eastern cities. He moves from imaginative places to real places like England and the Great Wall of China. He longs to travel to deserted cities and light a fire in the quiet gloom there. The poem talks of distant places that the narrator wishes to travel; the mention of real cities and historical places reflects the influence of the poet's travels and experiences of these places.
