THE BUTTERFLY by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: LEAFLESS, STEMLESS, FLOATING FLOWER
Last Line: BEARING BLOSSOMS OF THY KIND.
Subject(s): BUTTERFLIES; INSECTS; BUGS;
LEAFLESS, stemless, floating flower,
From a rainbow's scattered bower,
Like a bubble of the air
Blown by fairies, tell me where
Seed or scion I may find
Bearing blossoms of thy kind.
