Splendid Flame
The outburst of a star
Has travelled very far
To show its splendid flame
On high.
In passing, when it came,
Its glow was all the same
As when it longed to die
Astray.
It wilted with a sigh,
Unfearful to defy
The biddings of its day
Or sleep.
There is no better way
To dwindle and decay
Than, like a star, to weep
Away.
