"Out in my front yard in sparkling weather / Two butterflies wings folded together"
Transcendental Sonnet #1334: White Butterflies
I don't know much about butterflies Wish I did but I'm not that clever But I got a butterfly surprise Yesterday which I thought I'd never Receive and it was hard to believe
Out in my front yard in sparkling weather Two butterflies wings folded together Joined in unmistakable embrace To be as one there under the sun Right there in front of my startled face
Surprised by life embracing the spring My heart bloomed within me to behold This most fantastic most fragile thing White butterflies wreathed in rays of gold
