When fireflies light up the forest,  
the scent of deer musk tempts the doe,  
her bleating joining in the chorus.  
All manner creature, high and low,  
is searching for a kindred spirit  
and longing, craving to be near it:  
will it succeed, will it be asked  
to share its destiny at last?  
As summer fades, the rut is over,  
the fireflies' pulsating strobe  
falls silent all around the globe  
and fields will yield to phlox and clover  
while rivers thirst for sating rains --  
their lustrous afterglow remains.
