Living Things

Hurt no living thing
Ladybird, nor butterfly
Nor moth with dusty wing
Nor cricket chirping cheerily
Nor grasshopper so light of leap
Nor dancing gnat, nor beetle fat
Nor harmless worm that creep.

(Christina Rosetti)

The lark's on the wing
The snail's on the thorn
God's in his Heaven
All's right with the world!

(Robert Browning)
