The Butterfly

by Edward Lear · 1872 · Nature & Seasons
The Butterfly, the Butterfly, the Butterfly!
He flew about in the sun.
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun.
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun.
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun.
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun.
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun.
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun,
He flew about in the sun.
