Richard Le Gallienne
I meant to do my work today
I meant to do my work today—
    But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
 And a butterfly flitted 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 laugh and go?
