Sherman, Frank Dempster: A Butterfly in Wall Street - ZaunköniG - 26.05.2007 A Butterfly in Wall Street Winged wanderer from clover meadows sweet, Where all day long beneath a smiling sky You drained the wild-flowers' cups of honey dry And heard the drowsy winds their loves repeat, What idle zephyr whispering deceit Has won your heart and tempted you to fly Unto this noisy town and vainly pry Into the secrets of this busy street? To me your unexpected presence brings A thought of fragrant pastures, buds and flowers, And sleepy brooks, and cattle in the fold; Or, watching as you soar on trembling wings, I think for those who toil through weary hours You are a type of their uncertain gold. |
