The silent shepherdess, <br />She of my vows, <br />Here with me exchanging love <br />Under dim boughs. <br /> <br />Shines on our mysteries <br />A sudden spark-- <br />'Dout the candle, glow-worm, <br />Let all be dark. <br /> <br />'The birds have sung their last notes, <br />The Sun's to bed, <br />Glow-worm, dout your candle.' <br />The glow-worm said: <br /> <br />'I also am a lover; <br />The lamp I display <br />Is beacon for my true love <br />Wandering astray. <br /> <br />'Through the thick bushes <br />And the grass comes she <br />With a heartload of longing <br />And love for me. <br /> <br />'Sir, enjoy your fancy, <br />But spare me harm, <br />A lover is a lover, <br />Though but a worm.'<br /><br />Robert Graves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-beacon-3/
