“Butterflies”
Creepy, crawly caterpillars burrowed in the ground. Or upon the glassy leaves Feasting may be found. You are handsome, caterpillars, Some with spots and rings; Some are green, or black or brown. Sober-tinted things. When comes winter, caterpillars, In your cradles warm. There you lie in peaceful sleep, Safe from every storm. When the spring comes, caterpillars And new life's begun, May you come forth butterflies. Flitting in the sun.
