Two Butterflies went out at Noon— And waltzed above a Farm— Then stepped straight through the Firmament And rested on a Beam—

And then—together bore away Upon a shining Sea— Though never yet, in any Port— Their coming mentioned—be—

If spoken by the distant Bird— If met in Ether Sea By Frigate, or by Merchantman— No notice—was—to me—

Two Butterflies

Synchronised a ballad of love two butterflies fluttering high in the sky above Seen from below the courtship dance mesmerising as we slip into a tranquil trance
