OUR POEM FOR TONIGHT
SOME ONE
LEISURE
SOME ONE
Some one came Knocking
At my wee, small door ;
Some one came Knocking,
I'm sure-sure-sure ;
I listened, i opened,
I looked to left and right,
But nought was there a-stirring
In the still dark night ;
Only the busy beetle
Tap-tapping in the wall,
Only from the forest
The screech-owl's call,
Only the cricket whistling
While the dewdrops fall,
So i know not who came knocking,
At all, at all, at all.
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 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.
