Analysis of Fire
Spirit of Autumn in
The Burning Wood
Oak boughs wet, the
Winter's hood
Fire of Yellow
Fire of Red
A woodsman fellow
His leafy bed
Forest floor and
Pumpkin Spice, harvest
Moon before
The Ice
The treest are thick
With cordial Fires
They fall in Autumn
As Mother tires
Uncloaked she lies
Uncloaked she dies
When fire falls
When Winter calls
