THE ANT AND THE BUTTERFLY

THE ANT AND THE BUTTERFLY

1 min
289


The colorful bright butterfly frolics -

Flitting amidst flowers, pretty and in play;

While the industrious ant collects sand, 

Hard at work in building an anthill today. 


'Tis the butterfly, so pleasing to the eye, 

Which enraptures one, extolled by all ... .


Scant attention receives the active ant,

Not much praise for its untiring ways... .


But that seems to be the rule of Nature ...

Emptiness of beauty acts as a foil 

To counter the hidden beauty in toil. 


In one, beauty is part of creation, 

While in the other, beauty is created...

Tell me, which kind merits more value?
