LÉPIDOPTÉROLOGIE COMPARÉE 39 



The leaves must fall, the roses fade 



The daffodils will net stay; 

 The flashing- diadem of the Dawn 



Dims into twi-light g'ray ; 

 Rut you, my butterflies, as of old 



Your glory still display, 

 Though long the little spark of hfe 



Has burnt itself away. 



Oliver Grey.
