All through the garden I went and went, <br />And I walked in under the butterbean tent. <br /> <br /> <br />The poles leaned up like a good tepee <br />And made a nice little house for me. <br /> <br /> <br />I had a hard brown clod for a seat, <br />And all outside was a cool green street. <br /> <br /> <br />A little green worm and a butterfly <br />And a cricket-like thing that could hop went by. <br /> <br /> <br />Hidden away there were flocks and flocks <br />Of bugs that could go like little clocks. <br /> <br /> <br />Such a good day it was when I spent <br />A long, long while in the butterbean tent.<br /><br />Elizabeth Madox Roberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-butterbean-tent/
