the caterpillar bears humiliation
for all mock at roughness
for all ridicule at ruggedness
it abides in its firm conviction,
all to grow surely to glow,
all to praise it, roping in row.
It still cultivates all patience,
when the people say it is ugly
when the people say it is meanly
it goes in its way in all silence,
all to grow surely to glow,
all to praise it, roping in row.
it creeps on leaves as a chance,
facing criticism endless
for being utter charmless
all try to keep it at a distance,
all to grow surely to glow,
all to praise it, roping in row.
It feels good days are ahead,
darkness leads to light,
all low to rise to height,
why to worry, lying in bed,
all to grow surely to glow,
all to praise it, roping in row.
In due course it turns a butterfly
so pretty, so charming
so beautiful, so fascinating
all welcome it to its stature high
all to grow surely to glow,
all to praise it, roping in row.
human lazy and lethargic!
be ready to toil like the bee,
be busy like the ant to foresee,
to shine in the butterfly magic.
all to grow surely to glow,
all to praise it, roping in row.
