I sit to night by the firelight	A
And I look at the glowing flame	B
And I see in the bright red flashes	C
A Heart a Face and a Name	B
	-
How often have I seen pictures	D
Framed in the firelight's blaze	E
Of hearts of names and of faces	F
And scenes of remembered days	E
	-
How often have I found poems	G
In the crimson of the coals	H
And the swaying flames of the firelight	A
Unrolled such golden scrolls	H
	-
And my eyes they were proud to read them	I
In letters of living flame	B
But to night in the fire I see only	J
One Heart one Face and one Name	B
	-
But where are the olden pictures	D
And where are the olden dreams	K
Has a change come over my vision	L
Or over the fire's bright gleams	K
	-
Not over my vision surely	J
My eyes they are still the same	B
That used to find in the firelight	A
So many a face and name	B
	-
Not over the firelight either	M
No change in the coals or blaze	E
That flicker and flash as ruddy	A
To night as in other days	E
	-
But there must be a change I feel it	A
To night not an old picture came	B
The fire's bright flames only painted	A
One Heart one Face and one Name	B
	-
Three pictures No only one picture	M
The Face belongs to the Name	B
And the Name names the Heart that is throbbing	N
Just back of the beautiful flame	B
	-
Who said it I wonder All faces	F
Must fade in the light of but one	L
The soul like the earth may have many	A
Horizons but only one sun	L
	-
Who dreamt it Did I If I dreamt it	A
'Tis true every name passes by	O
Save one the sun wears many cloudlets	F
Of gold but has only one sky	O
	-
And out of the flames have they faded	A
The hearts and the faces of yore	P
Have they sunk 'neath the gray of the ashes	F
To rise to my vision no more	P
	-
Yes surely or else I would see them	I
To night just as bright as of old	A
In the white of the coal's silver flashes	F
In the red of the restless flames' gold	A
	-
Do you say I am fickle and faithless	F
Else why are the old pictures gone	Q
And why should the visions of many	A
Melt into the vision of one	L
	-
Nay list to the voice of the Heavens	F
One Eternal alone reigns above	R
Is it true and all else are but idols	F
So the heart can have only one love	R
	-
Only one all the rest are but idols	F
That fall from their shrines soon or late	A
When the Love that is Lord of the temple	S
Comes with sceptre and crown to the gate	A
	-
To be faithless oft means to be faithful	S
To be false often means to be true	T
The vale that loves clouds that are golden	L
Forgets them for skies that are blue	T
	-
To forget often means to remember	M
What we had forgotten too long	U
The fragrance is not the bright flower	M
The echo is not the sweet song	U
	-
Am I dreaming No there is the firelight	A
Gaze I ever so long all the same	B
I only can see in its glowing	N
A Heart a Face and a Name	B
	-
Farewell all ye hearts names and faces	F
Only ashes now under the blaze	F
Ye never again will smile on me	A
For I'm touching the end of my days	F
	-
And the beautiful fading firelight	A
Paints now with a pencil of flame	B
Three pictures yet only one picture	M
A Heart a Face and a Name	B
