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 starts, 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.
By William Henry Davies (1871-1940)

I think this poem is horrific.
It's monotonous and predictable. There is no meaning and get no sense of nature throughout this poem and the images are poorly constructed. I didn't feel involved in this poem, and quite frankly, it's only a nice poem, that's it.
It's nothing spectacular by anyones means, it's only a nice rhythmic poem with no underlying meaning or startle-filled i
