Two Butterflies went out at Noon

Two Butterflies went out at Noon

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 - 

Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886) US-amerikanische Dichterin
