Life (1939)
written by William Henry Davies
From "The Loneliest Mountain", 1939 Link to further information




The quality of life on earth
   Is all that dreams could make it be;
And all I ask for in this world
   Is but increase in quantity.
My corn and wine - how sweet are these!
   How precious is this living breath!
Is it not Man's ingratitude
   That looks for better after death?
