Envoi (Swinburne)
From Wikisource
| A Century of Roundels by Envoi |
| This poem is a roundel originally published in the book A Century of Roundels. |
Fly, white butterflies, out to sea,
Frail pale wings for the winds to try,
Small white wings that we scarce can see
Fly.
Here and there may a chance-caught eye
Note in a score of you twain or three
Brighter or darker of tinge or dye.
Some fly light as a laugh of glee,
Some fly soft as a low long sigh:
All to the haven where each would be
Fly.
