A wandering man he worked and tramped his way <br />Through Canada and through the U.S.A. <br />And he oft times slept under the open sky <br />But there was more to him than met the eye. <br /> <br />He damaged his foot whilst jumping off a train <br />And amputation caused him years of pain <br />And how he suffered the poor chap god knows <br />But like a man he took life's painful blows. <br /> <br />He won world acclaim as a lyric poet <br />And more than seven hundred poems he wrote <br />His complete poems numbered 749 <br />And to his credit not one slipshod line. <br /> <br />So many great poems from his majic hand <br />He wrote the rhymes a child could understand <br />His lyrics born of true simplicity <br />Which is the hall mark of good poetry. <br /> <br />The life story read like strange ficticious tales <br />Of the legendary super tramp of Wales <br />From obscurity he rose to literary fame <br />And 'William Henry Davies' was his name.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/william-henry-davies/
