TRANSFORMATION by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: THE BUTTERFLIES ARE BUTTERCUPS, WIND-BLOWN
Last Line: ARE BUTTERFLIES FLIGHT-WEARY, SEEKING REST.
Subject(s): BUTTERFLIES; FIELDS; INSECTS; SUMMER; PASTURES; MEADOWS; LEAS; BUGS;
THE butterflies are buttercups, wind-blown,
Bright, airy flowers upon the summer's breast;
The buttercups, thick in the meadows sown,
Are butterflies flight-weary, seeking rest.
