FIRE, by BEN SARA OF SANTAREN First Line: Fire, the daughter of the flint Last Line: Madly in her scarlet gown. Alternate Author Name(s): Ibn Sara; Ibn Sarah | |||
Fire, the daughter of the flint: In the furnace see her glint, Like the planets burning bright In the shadows of the night. Pray inform me, if you can (Do not lie to me, my man!) Does she have a high degree In the art of alchemy? So I think; for when the breeze Howls at midnight through the trees, Then she dances up and down Madly in her scarlet gown. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ORANGES by BEN SARA OF SANTAREN THE BENEFACTOR by BEN SARA OF SANTAREN THE QUINCE by BEN SARA OF SANTAREN THE YOUTH by BEN SARA OF SANTAREN IN TALL GRASS by CARL SANDBURG JIM, WHO RAN AWAY FROM HIS NURSE, AND WAS EATEN BY A LION by HILAIRE BELLOC |
