The poem describes a dragonfly landing near the speaker for a brief moment, sharing its beauty and glory with their world, before flying away again. Though the speaker wishes it could have stayed, they feel fortunate to have witnessed the dragonfly, even if only for a short time.

A dragonfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
