Around my vine wreathed portico	A
At evening there's a perfect glow	A
Of little lights a flashing	B
As if the stellar bodies had	C
From super heat grown hyper mad	C
And spend their ire in clashing	B
	-
As frisky each as shooting star	D
These tiny electricians are	D
The Lampyrine Linnaean	E
Or lightning bugs that sparkling gleam	F
Like scintillations in a dream	F
Of something empyrean	E
	-
They brush my face light up my hair	G
My garments touch dart everywhere	G
And if I try to catch them	H
They're quicker than the wicked flea	I
And then I wonder how 'twould be	I
To have a dress to match them	H
	-
To be a princess in disguise	J
And wear a robe of fireflies	J
All strung and wove together	K
And be the cynosure of all	L
At Madame Haut ton's carnival	M
In fashion's gayest feather	K
	-
So sudden falls upon the grass	N
The overpow'ring light of gas	N
And through the lattice streaming	B
As wearily I close my eyes	J
Brief are the moments that suffice	O
To reach the land of dreaming	B
	-
Now at the ball superbly dressed	P
As I suppose to eclipse the rest	P
Within an alcove shady	I
A brilliant flame I hope to be	I
While all admire and envy me	I
The bright electric lady	I
	-
But ah they never shine at all	L
My eyes ignite I leave the hall	L
For wrathful tears have filled them	H
I could have crushed them on the spot	Q
The bugs I mean and quite forgot	Q
That stringing them had killed them	H
