Poem 7 (J 129: 1830-1886)
1:
Cocoon above! Cocoon below! |
2:
Stealthy Cocoon, why hide you so |
3:
What all the world suspect? |
4:
An hour, and gay on every tree |
5:
Your secret, perched in | estasy |
Your secret, perched in | ecstasy |
6:
Defies imprisonment! |
7:
An hour in Chrysalis to pass, |
8:
Then gay above receding grass |
9:
A Butterfly to go! |
10:
A moment to interrogate, |
11:
Then wiser than a Surrogate, |
12:
The Universe to know! |
