'to a passing butterfly' [link]

To a passing butterfly
 I am here and wait for thee.  
Each day that passes overhead,  
Is a day more lonely for thee.

I watch thee dance on blossoms afar  
And admire thy powdery wing.  
The delicate hair that softly touches,
 I hope. I wait. I dream.

I long to cradle thy delicate heart,
 Embrace thy lively form,
 But I am rooted here, earthen bound,  
Hidden in silent awe.

I hold a petal for thy weary frame  
And colour alike to ease,
 And nectar to nourish a tired heart  
Before I cast my seed.

But only the bee that fumbles  
And the sly old beetle that crawls,
 They thieve my gifts and spoil my hue,
 It's not for them I wait.

My hopes are still and yet unborn.  
Heads now seeding; weeds repealing
 Like the setting sun;  
Won't you turn for me Butterfly?

Thy flighty silhouette
 Grows longer each passing day,  
Veils the dutiful grass,  
It almost touches me.

Now I quiver in silent weep.  
I sigh and wither, my time to die;  
Then, at last, I see thee here,  
But to pass me by.
