Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL MNON PQRA STAU| From cocoon forth a butterfly | A |
| As lady from her door | B |
| Emerged a summer afternoon | C |
| Repairing everywhere | D |
| - | |
| Without design that I could trace | E |
| Except to stray abroad | F |
| On miscellaneous enterprise | G |
| The clovers understood | H |
| - | |
| Her pretty parasol was seen | I |
| Contracting in a field | J |
| Where men made hay then struggling hard | K |
| With an opposing cloud | L |
| - | |
| Where parties phantom as herself | M |
| To Nowhere seemed to go | N |
| In purposeless circumference | O |
| As 't were a tropic show | N |
| - | |
| And notwithstanding bee that worked | P |
| And flower that zealous blew | Q |
| This audience of idleness | R |
| Disdained them from the sky | A |
| - | |
| Till sundown crept a steady tide | S |
| And men that made the hay | T |
| And afternoon and butterfly | A |
| Extinguished in its sea | U |
