Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 63
Brown and furry Caterpillar in a hurry, Take your walk To the shady leaf, or stalk, Or what not, Which may be the chosen spot. No toad spy you, Hovering bird of prey pass by you ; Spin and die, To live again a butterfly. 41 … A toadstool comes up in a night,—Learn the lesson, little folk :— An oak grows on a hundred years,But then it is an oak.
