129 <br /> <br />Cocoon above! Cocoon below! <br />Stealthy Cocoon, why hide you so <br />What all the world suspect? <br />An hour, and gay on every tree <br />Your secret, perched in ecstasy <br />Defies imprisonment! <br /> <br />An hour in Chrysalis to pass, <br />Then gay above receding grass <br />A Butterfly to go! <br />A moment to interrogate, <br />Then wiser than a "Surrogate," <br />The Universe to know!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cocoon-above-cocoon-below/
