What, No Butterflies Contest
What, No Butterflies?
Come walk with me in morning
When life is fresh and new,
When sunlight gilds the waking trees,
And grass brings forth the dew.
Accompany me at noontide
When the world is plainest seen,
And colors catch and hold the light
For ransom 'til the e'en.
Come and stroll in afternoon
When shadows stretch and creep,
And send the creatures of the day
Homeward for to sleep.
Be with me at eventide
When streetlamps flicker on,
When night and day walk hand in hand
And bells play evensong.
Come walk with me at midnight dark;
We'll brave the witching hour.
Together, we will not know fear,
Wrapt in love's sweet power.
