More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

TO A MOTH.
Time was when 1 behld you whirr
About on fluttering wing,
1 could not help but think you were
A very lovely thing.
You scared above this world of sin,
A flying work of art;
1 did not know then what was in
Your heart.
did not know you meant to lay
Your eggs upon my trees
Which, when they Matched the fol-
lowing day,
Would loose fat grubs to seize,
And feed upon them, leaf and bough,
Destroying every one;
I only realize that, now
It's done.
When Shelley spoke of your desire
To win the distant star
Attracted by it's twinkling fire,
He missed the truth by far.
You yearn for distant stars, indeed!
You only think of food
Which other people raise to feed
Your brood.
No song I'll ever pen to you,
And never more will be
Your form, new brushed with spar
king dew,
A shining gem to me.
Each day for you TIL lie in wait
And see that yoh are fed
On supply or arsenate
