POETRY PATH : Hurt No Living Thing


Hawaiian Akepa, rare & smallest of the Hawaiian forest birds. Males brilliant orange plumage takes four years to develop.  by Jack Jeffrey

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 Rosseti
