BUTTERFLY by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: BUTTERFLY, BUTTERFLY, SIPPING THE SAND
Last Line: THAT SAND-FILTERED WATER TASTES BETTER TO YOU?
Subject(s): BUTTERFLIES; INSECTS; BUGS;
Butterfly, Butterfly, sipping the sand,
Have you forgotten the flowers of the land?
Or are you so sated with honey and dew
That sand-filtered water tastes better to you?
