" I meant to do my work today,
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand,
So what could I do but laugh and go?"

- Richard LeGalliene

1866 -1947
