MARIPOSA

 MARIPOSA

 

Butterflies are white and blue

In this field we wander through.

Suffer me to take your hand. 

Death comes in a day or two.

 

All the things we ever knew

Will be ashes in that hour :

Mark the transient butterfly,

How he hangs upon the flower.

 

Suffer me to take your hand.

Suffer me to cherish you

Till the dawn is in the sky.

Whether I be false or true,

Death comes in a day or two.

 

Edna St. Vincent MILLAY
