FROM A FIRE OF APPLE WOOD

Through wind swept sheets Of driven rain
The ancient orchard shows forlorn, -
Like brave old soldiery half slain,
With gaps to tell the losses borne,
And fragments Of the fallen trees
Burn on the hearth before me bright; y
The FIRE their captive spirit frees;
AOsins. watch it take its fight
How swift the flames Of gold and blue
Up from the glowing logs aspire!
There yellow bird apd bluebird flew
And oriole. each With wings Of fire.
Now in the hearth light, on the trees, r
Stirs something they and have heard.
All, is it not the summer breeze
Come back to us with sun apdsbirdf :.

Gee, w,.cro the ashes smo!dering lie,
