Worms
| Worms written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Loneliest Mountain", 1939 | Link to further information |
Silkworms have dressed the fairest women,
Glowworms have their own starry climes;
Straight from his breakfast on a worm,
The bird begins his morning chimes.
Maggots, so fat and short,
Tapeworms, so thin and long:
'All these are able' -
Say Anglers, when they speak the truth -
'To fill a bowl with fish for some man's table.'
