Thanks for the tip. Googling "And plus 1 leaves you nought but a sigh" led
to http://www.pleacher.com/mp/mpoetry/epii.html and a fuller version:
I used to think math was no fun,
'Cause I couldn't see how it was done.
Now Euler's my hero,
For I now see why 0
Equals e to the pi i + 1.
e raised to the pi times i,
And plus 1 leaves you nought but a sigh.
This fact amazed Euler
That genius toiler,
And still gives us pause, bye the bye.
