Q is for Question
written by William Henry Davies
From "A Poet's Alphabet", 1925




The man who tells me he has seen a ghost,
   He either lies, was drunk or full of fears;
But if by chance a ghost should come my way,
   This is my question, ready for his ears -
'What lies beyond this life I lead to-day?'

One night I dreamt I met a spirit man,
   But when I told that ghost what I would know,
He laughed 'Ha, ha! I knew what you would say;
   And that's the question I am asking now -
"What lies beyond this life I lead to-day!"'
