THE MOTH'S SONG by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP

First Line: TIS GOOD TO BE THE MOTH THAT SEEKS THE / FLAME
Last Line: DO I NOT FIND THE GLORY OF THE LIGHT!

'TIS good to be the moth that seeks the flame,
To rush in on it, sudden, from the night—
What tho' I, blackened, perish at the same—
Do I not find the glory of the Light!
