Percy Addleshaw (1866–1916) was an English poet, barrister and writer.
The Happy Wanderer (1895)
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.

It may be we shall know in the hereafterWhy we, begetting hopes, give birth to fears,And why the world's too beautiful for laughter,Too gross for tears.
