Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

* * *

Brown and furry
Caterpillar in a hurry,
Take your walk
To the shady leaf, or stalk,
Or what not,
Which may be the chosen spot.
No toad spy you,
Hovering bird of prey pass by you;
Spin and die,
To live again a butterfly. 

1. Rosy Maiden Winifred
2. Come Unto Me
3. Brownie, Brownie, Let Down Your Milk
4. Once For All
5. Sweet Death
