Peace and Rest
written by William Henry Davies
From "Ambition", 1929 Link to further information




Under this tree, where light and shade
Speckle the grass like a Thrush's breast,
Here, in this green and quiet place,
I give myself to peace and rest.

The peace of my contented mind,
That is to me a wealth untold -
When the Moon has no more silver left,
And the Sun's at the end of his gold.
