LEISURE

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 in how they can dance.No time to wait titt her mouth can.Enrich the smile her eyes began.A poor life this is if full of care.We have no time to stand and stare
