The Example

THE EXAMPLE

Here’s an example from

            A Butterfly ;

That on a rough, hard rock

Happy can lie ;

Friendless and all alone

On this unsweetened stone
.

Now let my bed be hard,

No care take i ;

I will make my joy like this

            Small Butterfly ;

Whose happy heart has power

To make a stone a flower.
