"Love, the Firefly"

Love, the Firefly

Still, still I see the fireflies 
Wandering thro’ the dusk, 
And the music falls about us, 
Like petals of rich musk. 

“Ah, love is but a firefly,” 
The voice of the viol plead; 
“A scarlet, wandering firefly, 
By every fancy led.”


"Love, the Firefly" as it appears in Ella Higginson's The Voice of April-Land and Other Poems (1903).
