THE LITTLE SALAMANDER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When I go free
Last Line: Dance burning through the night.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter


When I go free,
I think 'twill be
A night of stars and snow,
And the wild fires of frost shall light
My footsteps as I go;
Nobody -- nobody will be there
With groping touch, or sight,
To see me in my bush of hair
Dance burning through the night.
