What Is This Life

Author: William Henry Davies, 1869-1941 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #94 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What is this life if, full of care Lyrics: 1 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; 2 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; 3 No time to turn at Beauty's glance, and watch her feet, how they can dance. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Meditation and Mystical Songs; Animals; Beauty; Commitment; Nature and the Countryside; Serenity Languages: English Tune Title: DEVOTION
