Poems (Tynan)/Summer Night
SUMMER NIGHT
All in the leafy lanes The glow-worm lights his lamp. The nightingale complains In scented dew and damp.
The nightingale her ache Bares to the lonely night, When there is none awake, Nothing in vale or height.
The glow-worm lights his lamp Under the blossomed may,Hung in the dew and damp His lamp lights up the way.
The nightingale complains All night to field and grove; The glow-worm in the lanes Hath lit a lamp to Love.
