“When I had money, money, O! I knew no joy till I went poor; For many a false man as a friend Came knocking all day at my door.” MenJoyPoorMoneyDoorsKnocking Author:W. H. Davies
“What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or 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 to stand and stare.” IfsLongEyeCareSpiritualNightTurnsStarsWaitingPoorWatchesFeetSkyMouthsWoodsThis LifeStaringGrassStreamsBroadsNutsCowsSheepHer EyesGlancesRelaxationDaylightSquirrelsPoor Life Book:The True Traveller: A Reader Source: The True Traveller: A Reader
“I cannot see the short, white curls Upon the forehead of an Ox, But what I see them dripping with That poor thing's blood, and hear the ax; When I see calves and lambs, I see Them led to death; I see no bird Or rabbit cross the open field But what a sudden shot is heard; A shout that tells me men aim true, For death or wound, doth chill me through.” MenWhiteAnimalPoorHeardBloodFieldsBirdShotsCrossesAimWoundsChillRabbitsForeheadsLambsCurlsDrippingCalvesOpen Fields Author:W.
