The Furnace

Title:     The Furnace
Author: Christopher Morley [More Titles by Morley]

At night I opened
The furnace door:
The warm glow brightened
The cellar floor.

The fire that sparkled
Blue and red,
Kept small toes cosy
In their bed.

As up the stair
So late I stole,
I said my prayer:
_Thank God for coal!_

[The end]
Christopher Morley's poem: Furnace
