DISCLOSURE, by                    
First Line: The transient butterfly declares
Last Line: And a diviner duty.
Subject(s): Beauty; Butterflies; Insects; Bugs


The transient butterfly declares
A more enduring thing
Than gaiety of motion
And gossamer of wing.

The purposeful and bright event
Of his ascending beauty
Discloses a sublimer grace
And a diviner duty.
