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 roos and cows,
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,
A poor life this is if full of care…
We have no time to stand and stare.- “Andy’s Lookout” on the isle of Middle Percy.
