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. Included in Sing Song and other Poems for Children by Christina G Rossetti. Illustration by Marguerite Davis, colored by c.j.Brown.
