The stars start strutting in the sky,
Flirting with the fireflies,
Flies fly up in flocks of flame
Squirming schools of skipping light.

Stars are all stark startling spars;
Fireflies form up furtive flocks,
And flittering fleets of furious flame
Keep swarming swamps with swaths of sparks.

The stars keep stoking stocks of specks
Glum and gleaming in the glee;
The flies keep glowing in the gloom
Billowing up in blooms of bling.
