First Line: Through the dim unlighted street
Last Line: The bonfires gleam and glow.
Subject(s): Fire
Through the dim unlighted street
The bonfires gleam and glow.
Bursting apples, roasting nuts,
Baked potatoes from the huts.
Crimson, golden, ruddy blaze,
Gleaming through the smoky haze.
Playing children, dancing feet,
All along the narrow street
The bonfires gleam and glow.
