On William Henry Davies

When William Henry Davies had part of his leg amputated after jumping off of a train He got on with life one who did not complain The cruel luck that was his lot when in his life's prime Did not prevent him from becoming a literary legend of his time With one good and partly wooden leg he had to live his life But this did not prevent him of getting a wife He lived on to become a literary figure of note Lionized in his time as a World renowned poet Of the beauty around him one fully aware He wrote of the beautiful minds free of care He wrote of the beauty in Nature he see The mind that is happy is poverty free True greatness of the man cannot be denied The ex tramp who did become known Worldwide More than seven decades deceased but his poems read and enjoyed by many today A literary legend of him one can say.
