The fire is lit
Flame kisses wood
And the two in their embrace
Send love into the room
Where warmth will soon
Undulate in shameless fashion
They travel timeless distances
From palaces of Caesar
And Nubian huts
From prairie homes
And sailors\' berths at sea
Marc Antony and Cleopatra
Wooed their heat
In coolness of Alexandrian night
And watched the dancing flames and wood
By competitive moonlight
