Butterflies are white and blueA
In this field we wander throughA
Suffer me to take your handB
Death comes in a day or twoA
-
All the things we ever knewA
Will be ashes in that hourC
Mark the transient butterflyD
How he hangs upon the flowerC
-
Suffer me to take your handB
Suffer me to cherish youA
Till the dawn is in the skyD
Whether I be false or trueA
Death comes in a day or twoA
