Two Butterflies went out at Noon –
And waltzed opon a Farm –
Then stepped straight through
the Firmament
And rested, on a Beam –

And then – together bore away
Opon 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 –
Report was not – to me –
