A MINOR POET, by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR First Line: The firefly, flickering about Last Line: To make a summer evening gay. Subject(s): Fireflies; Glowworms | |||
THE firefly, flickering about In busy brightness, near and far Lets not his little lamp go out Because he cannot be a star. He only seeks, the hour he lives, Bravely his tiny part to play, And all his being freely gives To make a summer evening gay. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BIOLUMINESCENCE: 1.
