The Dragon-Fly
By Jessie Belle Rittenhouse
The day was set to a beautiful theme
By the blue of a dragon-fly
That poised with his airy wings agleam
On a flower, as I passed by.
So frail and so lovely—a touch would destroy;
He seemed but a fancy, a whim;
Yet this gossamer thing is a breath of God’s joy,
And Life is made perfect in him!
