Additional quotes by W. H. Davies

The collier's wife had four tall sons
Brought from the pit's mouth dead,
And crushed from foot to head

Sweet Stay-at-Home, sweet Well-content,
Thou knowest of no strange continent;
Thou hast not felt thy bosom keep
A gentle motion with the deep;
Thou hast not sailed in Indian seas,
Where scent comes forth in every breeze.

Go you and, with such glorious hues,
Live with proud peacocks in green parks.
