EGG TO AIR

FROM COCOON FORTH A BUTTERFLY

As Lady from her Door
Emerged - a Summer Afternoon -
Repairing Everywhere -

Without Design - that I could trace
Except to stray abroad
On Miscellaneous Enterprise
The Clovers - understood

Her pretty Parasol be seen
Contracting in a field

Where Men made Hay -
Then struggling hard
With an opposing Cloud

Where Parties - Phantom as Herself
To Nowhere - seemed to go

To purposeless Circumference -
As 'twere a Tropic Show

And notwithstanding Bee - that worked -
And Flower - that zealous blew -
This Audience of Idleness
Disdained them, from the Sky -

Till sundown crept - a steady Tide -
And Men that made the Hay -

And Afternoon - and Butterfly -
Extinguished - in the Sea
