Bumblebees and Nightbugs

So there did I lie

Under moonlit sky

In the old field o' rye;

Not an easy goodbye.

With scarlet in hand

And scarlet the mist;

'Twixt the blades o' the rye

By the monnlight we kissed.

Then I looked at the stars

And they winked into sight;

Then the black took them too,

Stole them into the night.

And I longed for the sun

And the moon to go dance

For the bumblebees

And all the nightbugs to prance.

But alas,

The sun and the moon are apart

And the bumblebees die

Late at night, in the dark.
