Percy Addleshaw (1866–1916) was an English poet, barrister and writer.

We shall lodge at the sign of the Grave, you say;Well, the road is a long one we trudge, my friend,So why should we grieve at the break of the day?Let us sing, let us drink, let us love, let us play,--We can keep our sights for the journey's end.

Travellers (1895)
