Part Two: Nature XVIII |
| TWO butterflies went out at noon | |
| And waltzed above a stream, | |
| Then stepped straight through the firmament | |
| And rested on a beam; | |
| And then together bore away | 5 |
| Upon a shining sea,— | |
| Though never yet, in any port, | |
| Their coming mentioned be. | |
| If spoken by the distant bird, | |
| If met in ether sea | 10 |
| By frigate or by merchantman, | |
| Report was not to me. |
