"Leisure" poem

Day 3 done so the course has now been successfully completed. (Backblip)

I have enjoyed finishing at 4 each day and then getting out. This is our teatime walk before the rain came. Our GSD decided to sit and watch the horses for a while. Why not?


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.
