Butterflies of Beauty
Butterflies of beauty
Today I beheld nature’s beauties in flight
As I walked to sit on a garden bench
Lost in absolute wonder and delight
I almost tripped into a nearby trench
Oh, what delicately ravishing little things
Coming in all shades of every hue
And how gently they do flap their wings
As they perch on flowers: red, green and blue
Flying so gently through the air
They pollinate flower after flower
As they suck nectar from each without a care
And their hairy legs are bathed in a pollen shower
Oh butterflies of beauty
Little wonder the rainbow hides in shame
At the sight of you on duty
Or at the mention of your name
The envy of the world's most affluent kings
Shall be aroused at the sight of your beautiful cloaks
Compared to your intricately coloured wings
Their finest garments are only but jokes
