FIREFLIES, by WILLIAM SHARP Poet's Biography First Line: Softly sailing emerald lights Last Line: And raised them thus to the outer air. Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona Subject(s): Fireflies; Glowworms | ||||||||
Softly sailing emerald lights Above the cornfields come and go, Listlessly wandering to and fro: The magic of these July nights Has surely even pierced down deep Where the earth's jewels unharmed sleep, And filled with fire the emeralds there And raised them thus to the outer air. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BIOLUMINESCENCE: 1.
