The solitude is broken by the flickering light Of the bonfire flinging its warmth to the sky, As the flames leap into the arms of the night, And the sparks soar upward, only to die. Here, on the shore by the silent lake, I see, above, a twinkling gleam: Then through the clouds, the moonlight breaks Silvering the ripples of a near-by stream. The embers are fading to a sleepy glow: My thoughts, drowsy from the evening air, Drift f1'om everyday worry and woe As I close my eyes in evening prayer. Then by calm waters, relaxing in sleep, Leaving the thoughts of the busy day My camp-fire solitude I keep Drifting and dreaming-far away.
