THE FIRESIDE. - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 THE FIRESIDE. WITH what a live intelligence the flame Glows and leaps up in spires of flickering red, And turns the coal just now so dull and dead To a companion — not like those who came To weary me with iteration tame Of idle talk in shallow fancies bred. From dreary moods the cheerful fire has led My thoughts, which now their manlier strength reclaim. And like some frozen thing that feels the sun Through solitudes of winter penetrate, The frolic currents through my senses run; While fluttering whispers soft and intimate Out of the ruddy firelight of the grate Make talk, love, music, poetry in one. |
