    Yes, go, little butterfly,
    Fan the warm air
    With your soft silken pinions,
    So brilliant and fair;
    A poor, fluttering prisoner
    No longer you'll be;
    There! Out of the window!
    You are free--you are free!

    Go, rest on the bosom
    Of some favorite flower;
    Go, sport in the sunlight
    Your brief little hour;
    For your day, at the longest,
    Is scarcely a span:
    Then go and enjoy it;
    Be gay while you can.

    As for me, I have something
    More useful to do:
    I must work, I must learn--
    Though I play sometimes, too.
    All your days with the blossoms,
    Bright thing, you may spend;
    They will close with the summer,
    Mine never shall end.
