O Firefly, Bright Firefly
Please let me join your flight
And cheat that bitter darkness
On the wings of Truth & Light
O Bluebird, Lovely Bluebird
When you perch so near to soul
I long to wear your cobalt shade
And sing in colors bold
O Butterfly, Sweet Butterfly
Don’t leave me far behind
Calling out in agony
To a world that’s deaf and blind
Just take me when the evening light
First shows her lovely face
Into the mystery of night
And leave no sign or trace
Of anything I ever was
And what little that remains
And dance me into vapor
Slipping softly from my chains
