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.
