BUTTERFLY

LYRICS

Butterfly,
Flutter by,
Under and over,
Haunting the clover,
Each flashing wing
Fashioning
Quivering glories,
Luminous stories!

Life in a miniature!
Swiftly to win a pure
Realm of ideals,
Hoping it heals.

Is hopefulness vain
To feel or to feign?
Know you not, save to say:

“The sun to me sings,
Beauty dowers my wings,
All of joy I attain.”—
Flutter by,

from “To a Butterfly” by George Herbert Clarke

French translation by Olivia Simone Pady

Papillon,
Voletant,
En dessous, au-dessus,
Hantant le trèfle,
Chaque aile clignotante
Façonnant
Des gloires frémissantes,
Des histoires lumineuses !

La vie en miniature !
Gagnant rapidement
Un royaume pur d’idéals,
En espérant que ça guérisse

L’espoir est-il en vain
Sentir ou feindre ?
Ne le sachant, sauf pour dire

“Le soleil me chante,
La beauté dote mes ailes,
J’atteins la joie infini.”—
Voletant,
