TOTHE GLOW-WORM.

Hail! insect of the em'rald ray!
Fair boast of summer's ev'ning hour!
Whose beams with trembling lustre play,
And gild thy little verdant bow'r!

I love to seek thee on the hill,
When sweetly falls the ev'ning dew,
To listen to the trickling rill,
And mark the twilight's soften'd hue.
