HURT NO LIVING THING
Hurt no living thing;
Ladybird nor butterfly,
Nor moth on dusty wing,
Nor cricket chirping cheerily,
Nor grasshopper so light of leap,
Nor dancing gnat,
Nor beetle fat,
Nor harmless worms that creep.
Christina Rossetti (Christina Georgina Rossetti (5 December 1830 – 29 December 1894) was an
English poet who wrote a variety of romantic, devotional, and children's poems.)
