1
The leaded window opened
2
To move the dancing candle flame
3
And the first Moths of summer
4
Suicidal came.
5
And a new breeze chattered
6
In it's May-bud tenderness ---
7
Sending water-lillies sailing
8
As she turned to get undressed.
9
And the long night awakened
10
And we soared on powdered wings ---
11
Circling our tomorrows
12
In the wary month of Spring.
13
Chasing shadows slipping
14
In a magic lantern slide ---
15
Creatures of the candle
16
On a night-light-ride.
17
Dipping and weaving --- flutter
18
Through the golden needle's eye
19
In our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking
20
On a Spring-tide high.
21
Life's too long (as the Lemming said)
22
As the candle burned and the Moths were wed.
23
And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher ---
24
Before the candle's dead.
25
The leaded window opened
26
To move the dancing candle flame.
27
And the first moths of summer
28
Suicidal came
29
To join in the worship
30
Of the light that never dies
31
In a moment's reflection
32
Of two moths spinning in her eyes.
