       Predator and Sacrifice

A butterfly ecloses just in spring.
  She flutters, gaily groping for delight
  Inside the grove, where she may find her fling.
  A gadget, lovely as a rose, with bright
And sliver filigree allures her eye;
  Infatuation lofts her heart with joy.
  Poor girl! She'd better know that--love is blind;
  The predator has crept to get his toy.
He chains and chumbles her in Beauty's guise,
  Ensnaring her in his soft net; all's fair
  In love and war; if only she could be wise!
Love casts the craze, which drives her to despair.
  If I, in love, were made a sacrifice,
  Would that, for you, the predator, suffice?

--
A time to kill, and a time to heal
A time to break, and a time to build up
