Wings of Gold at Midnight
By Charlie   

Share    Print Save  Author Tracker

My Dani's latest... For a lit class, she was assigned to make new lyrics for a well-known tune. She chose Greensleeves.

As I was walking thru the woods

I saw a beautiful butterfly.

It landed on a purple flower

And spread its wings in the moonlight.

 

My butterfly, though you’re gone by now,

Your dying breath still lives on somehow.

Oh butterfly, may you always be

With wings of gold at midnight

 

As I was walking thru the woods

I saw a lady falling.

She landed on my butterfly

And her basket of goods went flying…

 

My butterfly, you’re gone by now;

Your living breath was stilled somehow.

Oh butterfly, may you always be

With wings of gold at midnight

 

As I was walking thru the woods

I saw her butter flying

It landed on the lady’s hair

And spread out like wings in the moonlight.

 

My butterfly, though you’re gone by now,

Your dying breath was avenged somehow.

Oh butterfly, may you always be

With wings of gold at midnight!

 

--Dani-doodles :0')
