Robert Frost - Fireflies in the Garden

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Of a starlike start they are accused as if a star was ever used to combat cancer, or to lure phosphorescent mate, secure. Since when were fireflies meant to stay? They propagate and fly away and now you cannot find them in a single field or north woodland. ea Comment 7 of 8, added on April 27th, 2009 at 2:37 PM. i like how this poem symbolizes and shows feling chris from United States Comment 6 of 8, added on April 27th, 2009 at 2:19 PM. this poem shows alot of what he feels in a a special way chris from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
