Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

Fire

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.

1. Friends
2. Lost Faith
3. Contrast
4. Ventures
5. I Have a King Who Does Not Speak
