H. DAVIES - 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 and 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 canEnrich that smile her eyes began? A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare Contact Mary marywatkinscounselling.co.uk Blackwood Well-being Centre https://www.facebook.com/blackwoodwellbeing Find At The Bench on At The Bench Website At The Bench Tools Website Instagram Our Monday Q & A's YouTube Facebook
