ASHES DENOTE THAT FIRE WAS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Into what carbonates
Subject(s): Fire


Ashes denote that Fire was -
Revere 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
