In a Lazy Meadow

Oh butterfly, butterfly Flutter by flutter by When did you wake From your pupae state Was it this morning When the sun was high In the bright blue sky Did you spread your wings In it's heat to dry Oh flutter by flutter by My pretty little butterfly Parade your wondrous colours So that all can see The rich tapestry Of Mother Natures artistry Vivid, bold, a delicate hue Red; yellow and cornflower blue Paper wings soft as a whisper Flitting floating in the gentle breeze Fluttering by fluttering by My pretty little butterfly Can you feel the buzz of the busy bees As they go about their work Collecting nectar from the flowers Freshly scented by summertime showers Can you hear the sound of the lark above Or the soft coo cooing of the turtle dove Do you see the beauty all around As you flutter by flutter by My pretty little butterfly Where do you sleep? When the day grows cold And night falls upon the land Come my innocent friend Come rest on my hand To talk awhile, before, You flutter by flutter by My pretty little butterfly
