Oh, As the Moth Doth Fly

Font Size

Oh, as the moth doth fly on fickle wings

Towards the fiery flame that unfolds,

So to do I flock the same as the moth

Towards the brightly burning heart that you hold.

And as the moth doth warm his weary wings

As to bathe in the basking of the light,

So to do I soak in a sea of love

And rest in your comforting arms of night.

And though the moth may knoweth not

Why the light of the fragile flame doth glow,

I can see the light burning white in you

And fall upon me like soft and silent snow.

Yet, if I was to hold that fire in you

I fear that in love… I may be all consumed.
