A poem by Emily Dickinson

Fire

________________________________________________
Title:     Fire
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Ashes denote that fire was;
Respect the grayest pile
For the departed creature's sake
That hovered there awhile.

Fire exists the first in light,
And then consolidates, --
Only the chemist can disclose
Into what carbonates.








[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Fire
