A MINOR POET by JOHN RICHARD MORELAND

First Line: THE SUN IS A FIRE
Last Line: WHEN THE MOON IS DARK.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;
The sun is a fire
Of liquid gold,
The moon is a beacon
And silver cold.

The planets burn
With a flaming light,
The stars are the topaz
Eyes of night.

But I am only
A glow-worm's spark,
Revealing the rose
When the moon is dark.
