M, Twist me a crown of wind-flowers ; That I may fly awayTo hear the singers at their song, And players at their play. Put on your crown of wind-flowers:But whither would you go ? Beyond the surging of the seaAnd the storms that blow. Alas ! your crown of wind-flowersCan never make you fly : I… … Brown and furry Caterpillar in a hurry, Take your walk To the shady leaf, or stalk, Or what not, Which may be the chosen spot. No toad spy you, Hovering bird of prey pass by you ; Spin and die, To live again a butterfly. 41
