The collection is divided into two parts: The Exiles and The Seekers. The Exiles contains poems about homesickness, loneliness, and the longing for a sense of belonging. The Seekers contains poems about the search for meaning and purpose in life, as well as the joys and sorrows of love.Stevenson's poetry is known for its musicality and its use of vivid imagery. Many of the poems in Songs of Travel have been set to music and have become popular songs.
