Holly Blue Butterfly
Rejoice! Rejoice!
The rumours are true
spring has awoken
by a holly blue.
In the midday hour
she flew towards me
in fairy tale attire.
Her speckled tulle wings
of silver blue haze
tickled my cold hand
as she casted her spell
over frost-veiled land.
The rumours are true
spring has awoken
by a holly blue.
In the midday hour
she flew towards me
in fairy tale attire.
Her speckled tulle wings
of silver blue haze
tickled my cold hand
as she casted her spell
over frost-veiled land.
