I Meant To Do My Work Today
I meant to do my work today-
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shinning hand-
So what could I do but laugh and go?
Richard Le Gallienne
