    The poem is addressed to a butterfly, asking it to stay a little longer. The butterfly brings memories of the poet's childhood and reminds him of playing with his sister as they chased butterflies together. Though the poet chased butterflies vigorously, his sister was more gentle so as not to harm their wings. The butterfly serves as a connection to the poet's family and past.

    To A butterfly

    William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

    STAY near me -do not take thy flight!


    A little longer stay in sight!
    Much converse do I find in thee,
    Historian of my infancy! converse: talk.
    Float near me; do not yet historian: expert in
    history.
    depart! infancy : childhood.
    Dead times revive in thee: Float: fly slowly.
    depart: leave.
    Thou bring, gay creature as thee: you.
    Thou: you.
    thou art! gay: attractive.
    solemn: deeply and
    A solemn image to my heart, strongly felt.
    My father's family!
    Pleasant: enjoyable.
    Oh! Pleasant, pleasant were the days, Chase; run after.
    Rush; run quickly.
    Prey: an animal that is
    hunted.
    The time, when, in our childish plays,
    My sister Emmeline and I
    Together chased the butterfly!
    A very hunter did I rush
    Upon the prey:--with leaps and springs
    I followed on from brake to bush;
    But she, god love her, feared to brush
    The dust from off its wings.
