Emily Dickinson in a prescient moment?
Re: global warming, the blight on bees /harbingers for flowers -- and oh, also the upcoming election:

And butterflies desire;
To gain the purple democrat
The hummingbirds aspire."
-- Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

And like the rest of her work, it can be sung to the melody of "The Yellow Rose of Texas".
