Emily Dickinson in the Garden
"Two Butterflies"
Two butterflies went out at noon
And waltzed above a stream,
Then stepped straight through the firmament
And
rested on a beam;
And then together bore away
Upon a shining sea,--
Though never yet, in any port
Their coming
mentioned be.
If spoken by the distant bird,
If met in ether sea
By frigate or by merchantman,
Report was
not to me.
