FIREFLIES, by                    
First Line: Above the meadow's silvery haze
Last Line: Among the denser shades are lost.
Subject(s): Fireflies; Glowworms


Above the meadow's silvery haze
The fireflies carry spectral lamps;
To light erratic twisting ways
Across the dim and boggy damps.
Their lights a golden tracery weaves
Among the quivering aspen leaves;
Like camp fire sparks that, upward tossed,
Among the denser shades are lost.
