And Here are Butterflies Poor Things
by William H. Davies
And here are butterflies: poor things
Amazed with new-created wings;
They in the air-waves roll distressed
Like ships at sea; and when they rest
They cannot help but open and close
Their wings, like babies with their toes.

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
