Hey, Butterfly, Butterfly

Hey! butterfly! butterfly! Wait for me, And tell me of your dreams. Have you danced with fairies gay And found your love and life? Have you sipped the sweetest gold And rest on the coloured beds? Hey, butterfly, butterfly Come on me, And sing me your finest song. Have you heard the music, The music of all that is? Have you seen the unseeable tones, And swam in the seas scent? Hey, butterfly, butterfly Rest on me And tell me what you be. Have you danced with blossoms And laid your babes to hatch? A fluttered dream of worms long dead The hope of better things to come. Hey, butterfly, butterfly Leave me not But tell, What do dreams, dream of? Of worms? of God? Or Both?
