Ingratitude
written by William Henry Davies
From "Songs of Joy", 1911 Link to further information




Am I a fool?
  So let it be,
For half the world
  Will pity me.

Ingratitude
  Is not my name;
Thieves, called by that,
  Are dumb for shame.

A fool - the world
  Will pity me;
Ungrateful - let
  No mercy be.
