On warm summer nights
when lightning bugs glow,
the Perseids command the sky
in a most spectacular show.
Meteors shooting
across the dark cap of night,
Like brilliant bits of crystal,
afire in burning light.
August 11th or 12th
after midnight to dawn,
enjoy this heavenly array
from your backyard or lawn.
