Two Butterflies Went Out At Noon

Emily Dickinson - 1830-1886

Two Butterflies went out at Noon

And waltzed above a Farm 

Then stepped straight through the Firmament  

And rested on a Beam

And then, together bore away 

Upon a shining Sea

Though never yet, in any Port

Their coming mentioned be  

If spoken by the distant Bird

If met in Ether Sea

By Frigate, or by Merchantman— 

No notice—was—to me—
