"...féileacán...féileacán! " baby on one ****** butterfly on the other your laughter butterfly frolics ... amongst your kimono butterflies silken-stitch butterflies play with the cabbage white autumn morning butterfly sits on a swing two butterflies chatting on a swing waiting for a push my hands create shadow butterflies that fly into daughter's mind "Make hands make butlerflies!" she pleads her first real butterfly sheer awe her butlerflies buttle serving the flowers butterflies little bits of coloured thought flit from mind to mind she adopts the butterflies "My flying flowers!" she chases them in Irish "...féileacán...féileacán! " refusing to come in until all the butterflies have gone to bed

"...féileacán...féileacán! " baby on one ****** butterfly on the other your laughter butterfly frolics ... amongst your kimono butterflies silken-stitch butterflies play with the cabbage white autumn morning butterfly sits on a swing two butterflies chatting on a swing waiting for a push my hands create shadow butterflies that fly into daughter's mind "Make hands make butlerflies!" she pleads her first real butterfly sheer awe her butlerflies buttle serving the flowers butterflies little bits of coloured thought flit from mind to mind she adopts the butterflies "My flying flowers!" she chases them in Irish "...féileacán...féileacán!

I think you may have guessed that .féileacán is the Irish for butterfly....to her they were her butlerflies....her flying flowers....but she like to chase them with the Irish....so she would "...féileacán...féileacán! " them around the garden.
