In a quiet pleasant meadow	A
Beneath a summer sky	B
Where green old trees their branches waved	C
And winds went singing by	B
Where a little brook went rippling	D
So musically low	A
And passing clouds cast shadows	E
On the waving grass below	A
Where low sweet notes of brooding birds	F
Stole out on the fragrant air	G
And golden sunlight shone undimmed	C
On all most fresh and fair	G
There bloomed a lovely sisterhood	C
Of happy little flowers	H
Together in this pleasant home	I
Through quiet summer hours	H
No rude hand came to gather them	J
No chilling winds to blight	C
Warm sunbeams smiled on them by day	C
And soft dews fell at night	C
So here along the brook side	C
Beneath the green old trees	K
The flowers dwelt among their friends	L
The sunbeams and the breeze	K
	-
One morning as the flowers awoke	M
Fragrant and fresh and fair	G
A little worm came creeping by	B
And begged a shelter there	G
'Ah pity and love me ' sighed the worm	N
'I am lonely poor and weak	O
A little spot for a resting place	P
Dear flowers is all I seek	O
I am not fair and have dwelt unloved	C
By butterfly bird and bee	Q
They little knew that in this dark form	R
Lay the beauty they yet may see	Q
Then let me lie in the deep green moss	S
And weave my little tomb	T
And sleep my long unbroken sleep	U
Till Spring's first flowers come	V
Then will I come in a fairer dress	W
And your gentle care repay	C
By the grateful love of the humble worm	N
Kind flowers O let me stay '	-
But the wild rose showed her little thorns	X
While her soft face glowed with pride	C
The violet hid beneath the drooping ferns	Y
And the daisy turned aside	C
Little Houstonia scornfully laughed	C
As she danced on her slender stem	J
While the cowslip bent to the rippling waves	Z
And whispered the tale to them	J
A blue eyed grass looked down on the worm	N
As it silently turned away	C
And cried 'Thou wilt harm our delicate leaves	A2
And therefore thou canst not stay '	-
Then a sweet soft voice called out from far	B2
'Come hither poor worm to me	Q
The sun lies warm in this quiet spot	C
And I'll share my home with thee '	-
The wondering flowers looked up to see	Q
Who had offered the worm a home	I
'T was a clover blossom whose fluttering leaves	A2
Seemed beckoning him to come	V
It dwelt in a sunny little nook	C2
Where cool winds rustled by	B
And murmuring bees and butterflies came	D2
On the flower's breast to lie	B
Down through the leaves the sunlight stole	E2
And seemed to linger there	G
As if it loved to brighten the home	I
Of one so sweet and fair	G
Its rosy face smiled kindly down	F2
As the friendless worm drew near	G2
And its low voice softly whispering said	C
'Poor thing thou art welcome here	H2
Close at my side in the soft green moss	S
Thou wilt find a quiet bed	C
Where thou canst softly sleep till Spring	D
With my leaves above thee spread	C
I pity and love thee friendless worm	N
Though thou art not graceful or fair	G
For many a dark unlovely form	R
Hath a kind heart dwelling there	G
No more o'er the green and pleasant earth	I2
Lonely and poor shalt thou roam	I
For a loving friend hast thou found in me	Q
And rest in my little home '	-
Then deep in its quiet mossy bed	C
Sheltered from sun and shower	J2
The grateful worm spun its winter tomb	T
In the shadow of the flower	J2
And Clover guarded well its rest	C
Till Autumn's leaves were sere	G2
Till all her sister flowers were gone	K2
And her winter sleep drew near	G2
Then her withered leaves were softly spread	C
O'er the sleeping worm below	A
Ere the faithful little flower lay	C
Beneath the winter snow	A
	-
Spring came again and the flowers rose	E
From their quiet winter graves	Z
And gayly danced on their slender stems	L2
And sang with the rippling waves	Z
Softly the warm winds kissed their cheeks	M2
Brightly the sunbeams fell	N2
As one by one they came again	O2
In their summer homes to dwell	N2
And little Clover bloomed once more	P2
Rosy and sweet and fair	G
And patiently watched by the mossy bed	C
For the worm still slumbered there	G
Then her sister flowers scornfully cried	C
As they waved in the summer air	G
'The ugly worm was friendless and poor	Q2
Little Clover why shouldst thou care	G
Then watch no more nor dwell alone	R2
Away from thy sister flowers	H
Come dance and feast and spend with us	S2
These pleasant summer hours	H
We pity thee foolish little flower	J2
To trust what the false worm said	C
He will not come in a fairer dress	W
For he lies in the green moss dead '	-
But little Clover still watched on	T2
Alone in her sunny home	I
She did not doubt the poor worm's truth	U2
And trusted he would come	V
	-
At last the small cell opened wide	C
And a glittering butterfly	B
From out the moss on golden wings	V2
Soared up to the sunny sky	B
Then the wondering flowers cried aloud	C
'Clover thy watch was vain	W2
He only sought a shelter here	H2
And never will come again '	-
And the unkind flowers danced for joy	X2
When they saw him thus depart	C
For the love of a beautiful butterfly	B
Is dear to a flower's heart	C
They feared he would stay in Clover's home	I
And her tender care repay	C
So they danced for joy when at last he rose	E
And silently flew away	C
Then little Clover bowed her head	C
While her soft tears fell like dew	C
For her gentle heart was grieved to find	C
That her sisters' words were true	C
And the insect she had watched so long	Y2
When helpless poor and lone	R2
Thankless for all her faithful care	G
On his golden wings had flown	R2
But as she drooped in silent grief	Z2
She heard little Daisy cry	B
'O sisters look I see him now	A3
Afar in the sunny sky	B
He is floating back from Cloud Land now	A3
Borne by the fragrant air	G
Spread wide your leaves that he may choose	B3
The flower he deems most fair '	-
Then the wild rose glowed with a deeper blush	C3
As she proudly waved on her stem	J
The Cowslip bent to the clear blue waves	Z
And made her mirror of them	J
Little Houstonia merrily danced	C
And spread her white leaves wide	C
While Daisy whispered her joy and hope	D3
As she stood by her gay friends' side	C
Violet peeped from the tall green ferns	Y
And lifted her soft blue eye	B
To watch the glittering form that shone	R2
Afar in the summer sky	B
They thought no more of the ugly worm	N
Who once had wakened their scorn	E3
But looked and longed for the butterfly now	A3
As the soft wind bore him on	T2
	-
Nearer and nearer the bright form came	D2
And fairer the blossoms grew	C
Each welcomed him in her sweetest tones	F3
Each offered her honey and dew	C
But in vain did they beckon and smile and call	G3
And wider their leaves unclose	F3
The glittering form still floated on	T2
By Violet Daisy and Rose	F3
Lightly it flew to the pleasant home	I
Of the flower most truly fair	G
On Clover's breast he softly lit	C
And folded his bright wings there	G
'Dear flower ' the butterfly whispered low	A
'Long hast thou waited for me	Q
Now I am come and my grateful love	H3
Shall brighten thy home for thee	Q
Thou hast loved and cared for me when alone	R2
Hast watched o'er me long and well	N2
And now will I strive to show the thanks	F3
The poor worm could not tell	N2
Sunbeam and breeze shall come to thee	Q
And the coolest dews that fall	G3
Whate'er a flower can wish is thine	I3
For thou art worthy all	G3
And the home thou shared with the friendless worm	N
The butterfly's home shall be	Q
And thou shalt find dear faithful flower	J2
A loving friend in me '	-
Then through the long bright summer hours	F3
Through sunshine and through shower	J2
Together in their happy home	I
Dwelt butterfly and flower	J2
