Excerpt from Fire-Light Reflections I love to sit by the open fire When the night comes in, ere the lamps are lit, Its ghostly shadows stalk behind Except where the flame-beams dance and flit. The wind without blows cold and loud, But this only adds to the peace within, And I think of the comforts that man has wrought In spite of the Curse of Sin.
