Subject(s): Butterflies; Insects; Wings; Bugs
These Butterflies, in twos and threes,
That flit about in wind and sun –
See how they add their flowers to flowers,
And blossom where a plant has none!
Bring me my hat of yellow straw,
To greet them on this summer's morn –
That they may think they see in me
Another crop of golden corn!
