A BUTTERFLY LIFE.

The butterfly woke to the tender kiss
Of the beautiful golden sun;
And basked in the light of lovers
bliss.
The smile of the loved one.
1t futtered about in the balmy air,
And slipped of the honeyed flowers,
With only the thought that the sun
was there;
4 halo around the hours.
The sun disappeared and the world
was dark,
And cold was the touch of night;
The butterfly clinging to hopes last
spark
In vain sought the missing light.
The hours wore on, and the wounded
thing
With one yearnihg look at the sky,
With blighted hope and bruised wing,
Had fallen to earth to die.
