Sweet Chance, that led my steps abroad, <br />Beyond the town, where wild flowers grow -- <br />A rainbow and a cuckoo, Lord, <br />How rich and great the times are now! <br />Know, all ye sheep <br />And cows, that keep <br />On staring that I stand so long <br />In grass that's wet from heavy rain -- <br />A rainbow and a cuckoo's song <br />May never come together again; <br />May never come <br />This side the tomb.<br /><br />William Henry Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-great-time/
