I\u2019ve watched you now a full half-hour,
\nSelf-poised upon that yellow flower;
\nAnd, little Butterfly! indeed
\nI know not if you sleep or feed.
\nHow motionless!\u2014not frozen seas
\nMore motionless! and then
\nWhat joy awaits you, when the breeze
\nHath found you out among the trees,
\nAnd calls you forth again !<\/p>\n

This plot of orchard-ground is ours;
\nMy trees they are, my Sister\u2019s flowers;
\nHere rest your wing when they are weary;
\nHere lodge as in a sanctuary!
\nCome often to us, fear no wrong;
\nSit near us on the bough!
\nWe\u2019ll talk of sunshine and of song,
\nAnd summer days, when we were young;
\nSweet childish days, that were as long
\nAs twenty days are now.<\/p>\n
