The Beacon.
The silent shepherdess, She of my vows, Here with me exchanging love Under dim boughs. Shines on our mysteries A sudden spark, "Dout the candle, glow-worm, Let all be dark. "The birds have sung their last notes, The Sun's to bed, Glow-worm, dout your candle." The glow-worm said: "I also am a lover; The lamp I display Is beacon for my true love Wandering astray. "Through the thick bushes And the grass comes she With a heartload of longing And love for me. "Sir, enjoy your fancy, But spare me harm, A lover is a lover, Though but a worm."
