A little while the fire flames and
flashes;
It shall not be long before It all Is
ashes.
We would not care If care would soon
be over;
Alas, the world has many a weary

Within whose heart, If going or re

Some ancient hurt keeps on forever
burning.

Yet love was ours, and home, and
happy faces.
Yes, Joy was ours in other times and
places.
Love quickly flames, and nothing
flames so brightly,
Or fades so swm, if love has loved
too lightly.
We can't forget that some old vow
was broken—
Let us recall at least the vow was
spoken.
Tbe hand of time In time the hart
would soften—
Perhays we stir the fires of hate too
often.

perish,
I f it be Joy, rekindle and recherish.
L ife is a fire, and mortals must rebuild
it,
Not with the pain but with the Joy that

The coals of hate are not the coals for
blowing.
But keep your hope, your faith, for
ever glowing.

Dante helped make the Florentine dia
lect the standard for literary Italian
