The Butterfly's Lovers

A little butterfly came out of its cocoon Looking at it, the whole world did swoon Yet, the little butterfly was in unease Why did the world stare at it, as if it had some disease It sought to look at itself in a mirror, but could not It sought to look at itself in a river water, but could not At last, it met another butterfly, who would only look at it And said, hey, to the world, you are a good treat See you how you glisten, see you how you glitter I am sure, the whole world has become your lover The little butterfly thought its new friend was a liar But, then, it listened to the wind and heard talking to it, the meadow flower Do you not know, said the flower in all honesty Do you not know, that a butterfly sees not its beauty!
