The Moth

by Cristel Hastings

published in BREEZY STORIES, February 1936

Frail and Fragile,

Gauzy-winged,

Spirit of a summer night—

Dancing, searching

Restlessly,

In the fitful candle-light.

“Just a night moth,”

Was my thought,

As I watched your restless flight.

Gray dawn found you

Lifeless—burned!

You had danced too near the light.
