My fire
 (Sung text for setting by J. Pillois)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
My fire burns low, 
And through bronze red bar
The ashes shift in golden glow
As dies the fire.
So must we die and pass into realms of Eternity.
My fire is dead,
Its ashes grow cold
As a day that is done,
As a tale that is told.

Composition:

    Set to music by Jacques Pillois (1877 - 1935), as Jacques Desky, "My fire", 1921, published 1921 [ voice and piano ], from Quatre mélodies, no. 1, Paris, Éd. Maurice Senart, also set in French (Français)
