TRAGEDY OF THE NIGHT-MOTH Magna ausus 'Tis placid midnight, stars are keeping Their meek and silent course in heaven; Save pale recluse, for knowledge seeking, All mortal things to sleep are given. But see ! a wandering Night-moth enters. Allured by taper gleaming bright; Awhile keeps hovering round, then ventures On Goethe's mystic page to light. With awe she views the candle blazing; A universe of fire it seems To moth-savivitc with rapture gazing. Or Fount whence Life and Motion streams. What passions in her small heart whirling, Hopes boundless, adoration, dread; At length her tiny pinions twirling. She darts, and—puff!—the moth is dead. 209.
