I Meant To Do My Work Today


by Richard Le Gallienne

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I found a similar poem recited by Elton John

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

Ecclesiastes 3:1
