The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson
The smouldering embers blush—
1132

The smouldering embers blush—
Oh Hearts within the Coal
Hast thou survived so many years?
The smouldering embers smile—
Soft stirs the news of Light
The stolid seconds glow
One requisite has Fire that lasts
Prometheus never knew—
