Come Tend the Fire

A Poem for Winter Solstice

By Glen WarrenPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Come tend the fire

Don't let it die

Keep it burning

The day is nigh

Come tend the fire

Keep it alive

Feel the warm throughout

So love can thrive

Come tend the fire

Sit by the hearth

Feed the flames

And wait for the birth

Come tend the fire

Give it some life

Gather the holly

Far and wide

Come tend the fire

The mantle strewn

With fir and spruce

Lit by the moon

Come tend the fire

The embers glow

The gift of the stag

Keeps our heart full

Come tend the fire

Frost on the glass

The Yule log burns

'Fore night has passed
