William Henry Davies (3 July 1871 – 26 September 1940) was a Welsh poet and writer, who spent much of his life as a tramp or hobo in the United Kingdom and the United States, yet became one of the most popular poets of his time. His themes included observations on life's hardships, the ways the human condition is reflected in nature, his tramping adventures and the characters he met. He is usually classed as a Georgian Poet, though much of his work is not typical of the group in style or theme.

  • 윌리엄 헨리 데이비스(William Henry Davies, 1871년 7월 3일 - 1940년 9월 26일)는 웨일스의 시인이자 작가였다. 데이비스는 영국과 미국에서 부랑자(tramp or hobo)로 인생의 상당 부분을 보냈지만, 당시 가장 유명한 시인 중 한 명이 되었다. 그의 작품에서 가장 중요한 주제는 삶의 어려움, 인간의 상태가 자연에 반영되는 방식, 자신이 겪은 모험과 그가 만난 다양한 인물들에 대한 관찰이었다. 데이비스는 일반적으로 (Georgian Poetry) 중 한 명으로 여겨지지만 그의 작품 대부분은 스타일이나 테마가 그룹의 전형적인 모습을 띠지 않으므로 이렇게 정의하기는 어렵다.

  • As I walked down the waterside This silent morning, wet and dark; Before the cocks in farmyards crowed, Before the dogs began to bark; Before the hour of five was struck By old Westminster's mighty clock: As I walked down the waterside This morning, in the cold damp air, I saw a hundred women and men Huddled in rags and sleeping there: These people have no work, thought I, And long before their time they die. (en)
  • Leisure 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 sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad day light, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. (en)
