LEISURE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES
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.

LEISURE

11. LEISURE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIS
Synopsis
The poem, ‘Leisure’ is about man not having
time or not making time to enjoy nature and
the simple pleasures of life. The persona
questions what life is if we lead hurried lives
all the time and have no time to look at
nature or enjoy the beauty around us.
Leisure is having free time to relax. However,
we have too much work and make no time
to enjoy the little things around us. Thus,
the quality of life is poor.

12. LEISURE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIS
The persona believes that we should
spend our free time enjoying and
appreciating the beauty of nature .We
should have the time to stand under
trees and look at the things happening
around us. When we pass the woods,
we should observe the activities of little
animals like squirrels .

13. LEISURE by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIS
We should also take time to look at
streams that shimmer in daylight
due to reflections of light. Nature is
portrayed as a beautiful dancing
lady with smiling eyes who then
breaks into a smile. If we have no
time to enjoy the beauty around us,
we are indeed leading poor lives
