To a butterfly - William Wordsworth
Written in the orchard, Town-end, Grasmere.
I'VE watched you now a full half-hour;
Self-poised upon that yellow flower
And, little Butterfly! indeed

This plot of orchard-ground is ours;
My trees they are, my Sister's flowers;
Here rest your wings when they are weary;

So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
