more quotes from that welsh poet

"A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare."

"And hear the pleasant cuckoo, loud and long - the simple bird that thinks two notes a song."

"It was the rainbow gave thee birth, and left thee all her lovely hues."

"Teetotallers lack the sympathy and generosity of men that drink."

"The more help a person has in his garden, the less it belongs to him."

More poetry:

Taffy was a Welshman,
Taffy was a thief;
Taffy came to my house
And stole a piece of beef.

I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was not home;
Taffy came to my house
And stole a marrow bone.

I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was not in;
Taffy came to my house
And stole a silver pin.

I went to Taffy's house,
Taffy was in bed;
I took up a poker
And threw it at his head.
