CONSTANTINE
MICHAELIDES .
* THE RED ADMIRAL BUTTERFLY.
DED
Admiral , Red Admiral

On what
seas
do
you
roam
?
What
are
your
flagship 's
colours ,
And what place
is
your
home ?
Your
sails
are
spell
and
magic
Of black
blotched
upon
red,
Your wing's shape
is fantastic
And witchly
strange
your
head .
Is
your
land
among
orchids
Where
strange
petals
ensnare
?
Are
your dominions hundreds
Which
no
adventurers dare ?
Is
your
sea
in
the
air
light
?
Your
colours
are
they
rays
?
Your
sailors girt
for
flower
fight
?
Your shoals
a
flowery
maze
?
Your
masts
are
they
the
grass
heads
?
Your guns are
they
the
boom
Of insects
in
the marsh
beds
Where
day light
wars with
gloom
?
