Playing in the fire and twilight together, <br />My little son and I, <br />Suddenly--woefully--I stoop to catch him. <br />"Try, mother, try!" <br /> <br />Old Nurse Silence lifts a silent finger: <br />"Hush! cease your play!" <br />What happened? What in that tiny moment <br />Flew away?<br /><br />Katherine Mansfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/firelight/
