作曲 : Lori Goldston/Jane Hall/Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn/Kyle Hanson Oh, these ragged wings Oh, these papery things Ah but strong am I I can fly and fly I'm the king, am I Earthly winds I ride for miles and miles I've been biding time At the over-wintering site Where the firs are fine And the mountains high The winter months we like This habitat for us is perfectly designed Lepidopterists are pleased Know it took them years to find me In nineteen seventy-five Discovery arrived In Mexico the prize This is where we hide But still you wonder why We are so dramatically inclined To live this migratory life Lives like ours rely On seasonal plants which die And soil gets too dry And sunlight does grow nigh We travel 'til we find A host by which our darling hatchlings will survive A green tender shoot Asclepiads bloom Fragrant firework Cardenolides usurp Aposematics work Assiduously we searched And though it won't be me My progeny will surely see Their return to the prairies
