The driftwood fire
Language: English
We made a driftwood fire You and I Where forest birds were dreaming And a bad brown owl was scheming As a baby star was gleaming Soft and shy The gray mist smoke grew gold Gold and blue And the thrilling shadows creeping Where the jeweled flames were leaping Carried dreams of woodbirds sleeping Close to you We heard a nightlark call Far and clear And the answer's deep sonfessing Soothed by silence sweet, caressing Brought the wonder of God's blessing Very near
