Leisure

What is life if full of care
We have no time to stand & stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep & cows

No time to see when woods we pass
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass

No time to see, in broad daylight
Streams full of stars, like skies at night

No time to turn at beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time stand & stare


W.H. Davies
(1871 -1940)
