As I walked in deep woods
Off a field
At John Brown\'s farm
When the days were warm
Feeling very lonely
A butterfly with yellow wings
Adopted me
And crossed my path
To and fro
His flirts and dances
Leading me
Farther into the trees
He stayed as I explored
And found that beauty
That makes us so forlorn
To see alone
He stayed and led the way
As I turned to leave
Weaving his waltz
Until the pine path disappeared
As a goodbye
He sprinkled me
With powder from his wings
That glistened
As it formed a ring
Around my heart
Now he shows himself in dreams
When I\'m lonely
So sad the past, it passes
So sweet the butterfly dreams
That dance over our losses
