The Moth and the Flame
The Moth and The Flame
There once was a moth and a flame
the moth he loved but could never tame
He loved the flame and her radiant light
and he flew to her faithfully every night
but one night he flew to close
her flame was burning like a bright red rose
He fell from the air and out of sight
leaving the flame to burn in the lonesome night.
