Does anyone know where I might be able to find the poem from the Centre Parcs advert....or who it is by?Help!Thanks x x x

Unless they have a new advert its this one.

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.
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.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

It seems a couple of Davies' poems have been the subject of inquiries here.
Several of them are printed online at this website: [www.poemhunter.com]
