Blue-Butterfly Day - Poem by Robert Frost

This poem describes a spring day when blue butterflies are abundant and their wings provide more vivid color than flowers for the next few days. The butterflies have mated and now rest closed-winged on the freshly cut roadside mud, having "ridden out desire".

Blue-Butterfly Day - Poem by Robert Frost

It is blue-butterfly day here in spring,


And with these sky-flakes down in flurry on flurry
There is more unmixed color on the wing
Than flowers will show for days unless they hurry.
But these are flowers that fly and all but sing:
And now from having ridden out desire
They lie closed over in the wind and cling
Where wheels have freshly sliced the April mire.

Blue-Butterfly Day

Robert Frost
