Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

* * *

Brown and furry
Caterpillar in a hurry,
Take your walk
To the shady leaf, or stalk,
Or what not,
Which may be the chosen spot.
No toad spy you,
Hovering bird of prey pass by you;
Spin and die,
To live again a butterfly. 

1. The One Certainty
2. Repining
3. Old and New Year Ditties
4. Hear What The Mournful Linnets Say
5. Maiden May
