Apollo's Butterfly

The Sun was on a rippling brook,
while the leaves on the trees,
by the wind were shook.

On the mossy floor,
a fire danced.

On the breeze a golden butterfly pranced.

Underneath a laurel,
lay a silver bow.
Beside it sat Apollo,
with his kithara in tow.

The Butterfly flew in the fire,
while Apollo strummed upon his lyre.
