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.

Thanks! Too bad there's no market for this. I was born 100 years too late. OK, let's be honest, 60 years too latr!
