"Leisure," by W.H. Davies

I first heard this poem on an T.V. advert.

Liked it then and I like it still.

was on an advertisement for a holiday

break.

Davies (1871-1940) was a Welsh poet. I'm rather fond of the poem because I approve of standing and staring and because it doesn't associate leisure with having money or buying something.
