Butterfly Wings 1922

A butterfly kiss'd a rosebud
and paus'd, for a moment to stay
on velvety fragile petals,
and then it flew away!
It pois'd on a purple clematis
with a transient tinge of regret,
It had left the blushing rosebud
alone there, to forget.

Then it sought a stately lily
whose kisses were cold with disdain.
Ah! the butterfly longed for the rosebud
to kiss her once again!
But its fluttering wings were tired
and the warm day soon would close,
The sunset, too, was sinking,
whilst slumbering was the rose!
