Mulberry Trees And Butterflies

Oh Mourning Cloak butterfly, to where and to whom  do you fly 
Oh Admiral Butterfly,  so many mirrors to count before you die 

Oh Jezebel Nymph I  love the way you sit on a summer's love flower 
by a pipturus mulberry tree, where love blooms without cower 

Oh silkworms of beauty eating mulberry leaves, thick as thieves 
spinning cocoons warm as rain by a mountain of mulberry leaves!

Oh Monarchs, you with your autumnal colored wings of flaming geest  
I love the way you flit around the mulberry tree like angels at a feast 

Oh Mulberry tree how majestic thou art, standing by the rivers edge
it is here that I stand in beauty like the sun, taking my last pledge.
