Verse For To-day
What is this life, if, full of care » We have no time to stand, ana stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep and cows.
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance.
A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare . From “Leisure,” by W. H. Davies, 1870-1940. [Jonathan Cape].
