Some Ladybird Quotes...

Ladybird, Ladybird

Ladybird, Ladybird,
Fly away home,
Your house is on fire,
             and your children are gone;
All except one, and her name is Anne.
And she crept under the frying pan.
Traditional

Hurt No Living Thing

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 Rossetti

Extremes

A little girl once kept so still
That she heard a fly on the window-sill
Whisper and say to a ladybird:
"She's the silliest child that ever I heard!"
James Whitcomb Riley
