NIGHT IN CAMP, by                    
First Line: Sparks ascending from the fire
Last Line: Presently to die.
Subject(s): Camping; Fire; Fireplaces; Forests; Wood; Camps; Summer Camps; Woods


Sparks ascending from the fire
Vanish among the trees
As in upward whirls they fly
Lifted by the breeze.

Clear and soft the bugle sounds
Over the forest camp,
Touching notes in many a heart,
Leaving eyelids damp.

Silence nestles round the wood;
Vega glows on high;
Logs in whitening ashes part
Presently to die.
