e,fit, When our populace is sleeping,
toaVe those VINO nightly watch are keeping),
when silence broods DER hill and dale,
and shadows cross the moonbeams pale,
q cry is heard amid the gloom
lhe warning Of impending doom,
Fire! Fire! Fire!
The Fireman from his SAUNDERS waking,
At once his quiet home forsaking,
Regardless OF both health and life,
Rushes to the deadly strife,
While still the cry of wild despair
Is waited on the midnight air,
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Though winds and tempests howl around him,
Yet these combined do not confound him;
He strives in courage to maintain,
Spite Of the stormy hurricane,
As higher and higher rise
The flames engaged to meet the skies.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
Fearless he leaps into the danger
saves the goods Of friend Or stranger
Saves, perchance, some precious life
tSuch deeds the fireman oft have done,
And thus immortal honors won)
Nor tires he till the joyful slout
