Did You Know It's National Poetry Month?

Hurt No Living Thing

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 worms that creep.

Christina Rossetti

The Princess and I have been learning this poem during the month of April.
