A moth mistakes a candle for the moon
It repeatedly flies in despite the heat
Why oh why, you moon drunk creature?
Perhaps it pities the candle,
knowing it will never shine as bright as the moon
So it flies in once more
Hoping it will be able see,
Even though it burns,
The candle shines as bright as the moon in the eyes of the moth.
