Poem of the Month

I Meant to Do My Work Today
Richard Le Gallienne

I MEANT to do my work to-day -
But a brown bird sand in the apple-tree
And a butterfly filtted across the field,
And all 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 shining hand -
So what could I do but lanugh and go?
