<b>Leisure</b><br /><br />What is this life if, full of care,<br />We have no time to stand and stare? —<br />No time to stand beneath the boughs<br />And stare as long as sheep or cows.<br />No time to see, when woods we pass,<br />Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.<br />No time to see, in broad daylight,<br />Streams full of stars, like skies at night.<br />No time to turn at Beauty's glance,<br />And watch her feet, how they can dance.<br />No time to wait till her mouth can<br />Enrich that smile her eyes began.<br />A poor life this if, full of care,<br />We have no time to stand and stare.
