First lines
The fireflies in the valley Are having their display Among the river willows Like little bits of day!
Come, light your silver sparkler And wave it in the air. Go dance among the willows And sprinkle sparkles there.
Then, oh, the world will wonder To see the willows shine, And even the fireflies will not know Their tiny sparks from mine.
