Butterflies Poem by Haniel Long

Butterflies

Rating: 3.4


There will be butterflies,
There will be summer skies
And flowers upthrust,
When all that Caesar bids,
And all the pyramids
Are dust.

There will be gaudy wings
Over the bones of things,
And never grief:
Who says that summer skies,
Who says that butterflies,
Are brief?

An interesting poem. Yes, life will carry on inconsequential to the fate of man on earth.
