Behold a fire, fanning tongues
Of crimson warmth dance along
Inviting, smooth, and brightly lit
And comforting warmth emit
Her crackling warmth and light
Illuminating and bright
Darkness held at bay
Til night passes into day
Take heed that once you look
Not to touch the caressing flame
Nor fondness for warmth mistook
Lest only oneself be to blame
Whence you prudence had forsook
Ne'er be you whole again.
