A firefly gives light
and dances through the rain
but pales against the night
in poetry refrain

She calls to far off thunder
and weeps along the glen
and hides her wings to wonder
if she will heal again

Go dance, dance on my firefly
and live in song and fly!
For no one would believe,
between the words, you cry.

yes, its light is puny against the night and i can see why this firefly feels so overwhelmed...

but then its light always lifts up our spirits..so lovely , these things are...

go fly on and awe us with your beauty, firefly...
