Among all lovely things my Love had been;Had noted well the stars, all flowers that grewAbout her home; but she had never seenA Glow-worm, never one, and this I knew.
While riding near her home one stormy nightA single Glow-worm did I chance to espy;I gave a fervent welcome to the sight,And from my Horse I leapt; great joy had I.
Upon a leaf the Glow-worm did I lay,To bear it with me through the stormy night:And, as before, it shone without dismay;Albeit putting forth a fainter light.
