- Before the fire, that winter's night
- None seemed so sweet as she,
- With winning smile, and dark eyes bright,
- And playful repartee.
- The dancing light - as round it flashed -
- To her seemed drawing nigh,
- Her slender waist pressed unabashed;
- Thus guided, so did I.
- It softly touched her cheeks aflame.
- I scarce repressed a sigh.
- It touched her lips. Dared I the same?
- Too tempting; so did I.
- Her ruby lips, half pouting, seemed
- My boldness to decry.
- Pa's step was heard. The flame scarce gleamed,
- Went out - and so did I.
