THE FLAME, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE Poet's Biography First Line: O moth, that yearns for me Last Line: I am thy heaven and hell! Subject(s): Moths | ||||||||
OMOTH, that yearns for me, The whole world pities thee, Foredoomed on heedless wing, By mad fire-worshipping. But sadder is my fate, Who, when the night is late, See thee in love come nigh, At my caress to die! When I would lend thee aid, To death thou art betrayed; Yea, I that love thee well, I am thy heaven and hell! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOBOCRASPIS GRISEIFUSA by TED KOOSER THE WOOLEN BUG by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS ALL FOOLS' CALENDER by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON THE MOTHS: 1.
