THE GLOW-WORM.

1 Oh, what is this which shines so bright, And in the lonely place Hangs out his small green lamp at night, The dewy bank to grace!

2 It is a glow-worm, still and pale It shines the whole night long, When only stars, O nightingale, Seem listening to thy song!

3 And so amid the world's cold night, Through good report or ill, Shines out the humble Christian's light, As lonely and as still.
