Blossoms
by Frank Dempster Sherman



Blossoms
By: Frank Dempster Sherman

Out of my window I could see
But yesterday, upon the tree,
The blossoms white like tufts of snow
That had forgotten when to go.

And while I looked out at them, they
Seemed like small butterflies at play,
For in the breeze their flutterings
Made me imagine them with wings.

I must have fancied well, for now
There�s not a blossom on the bough,
And out of doors �t is raining fast,
And gusts of wind are whistling past.

With butterflies �t is etiquette
To keep their wings from getting wet,
So when they knew the storm was near,
They thought it best to disappear.
