Glowworms

Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,Like the sparks of fire, befriend thee.

— Glowworms

Shine little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer.Love's sweet voice is calling yonder.

— Glowworms

Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright,But look'd too near have neither heat nor light.

— Glowworms

For, as you know, religions are like glow-worms; they shine only when it is dark.

— Glowworms

Till glowworms light owl-watchmen's flightThrough our green metropolis.

— Glowworms

My star, God's glowworm.

— Glowworms

Tasteful illumination of the night,Bright scattered, twinkling star of spangled earth.

— Glowworms

While many a glowworm in the shadeLights up her love torch.

— Glowworms

Glow-worms on the ground are moving,As if in the torch-dance circling.

— Glowworms

Ye living lamps, by whose dear light Her matchless songs does meditate.

— Glowworms

Ye country comets, that portend Than to presage the grass's fall.

— Glowworms

Here's a health to the glow-worm, Death's sober lamplighter.

— Glowworms

When evening closes Nature's eye, And tempt the rover through the dark.

— Glowworms

The glow-worm shows the matin to be near,And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire.

— Glowworms

Like a glowworm golden, in a dell of dew,Among the flowers and grass which screen it from the view.

— Glowworms

Among the crooked lanes, on every hedge,A moving radiance twinkles.
