THE YULE LOG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Out of the mighty yule log came
Last Line: Yet trembling on the verge of speech.


OUT of the mighty Yule log came
The crooning of the lithe wood-flame, --
A single bar of music fraught
With cheerful yet half pensive thought, --
A thought elusive: out of reach,
Yet trembling on the verge of speech.
