About Edward Hersey Richards

Mr. Richards is perhaps best remembered as the author of the short poem that follows.

A Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard:
Why can’t we all be like that bird?

-Edward H. Richards (Edward Hersey Richards)
