The summer nights are all aglow With elfin lamps that dart about. Their tiny lights, now high, now low, Like neon signs flash on, flash out. I wander through the growing hay Where all their dancing millions are, And catch a few to watch the play Of fireworks within a jar. They fill the air with gleam and spark Of restless lanterns in the night. And I'm aware how very dark The world would be without their light. |
