THE

BUTTERFLY'S BALL

AND

THE GRASSHOPPER'S FEAST.

BY THOMAS ROSCOE.

ILLUSTRATED BY KENNY MEADOWS.

And the revels are now

Only waiting for you.

On the smooth-shaven grass,

By the side of the wood,

Beneath a broad oak

That for ages has stood,

See the children of earth,

And the tenants of air,

For an evening's amusement

Together repair.
