When the last butterfly flutters by
your seat on the grass
When the sun moves overhead
in one more timeless pass
When the creek’s empty water
flows by and on
When the creatures of the bush
all around you have gone
Will you sit and reflect
on what could have been
When you knew it was coming
it had been foreseen
Will you ask why you didn’t
when there was time and you could
While you sat on the grass
thinking I must then I should
