toA YELLOW BUTTERFLY.APRIL 8, 1808.
Hail! loveliest insect of the spring!
Sweet buoyant child of Phœbus, hail!
High soaring on thy downy wing,
Or sporting in the sunny vale!
Sweet buoyant child of Phœbus, hail!
High soaring on thy downy wing,
Or sporting in the sunny vale!
Oh! lovely is thy airy form,
That wears the primrose hue so fair,
It seems as if some passing storm
Had rais'd the beauteous flow'r in air.
