Born in the flame
Conceived in the earth
Some use me with shame
And others with mirth
Once I’ve been tamed I hardly miss
And all men fear my deadly cold kiss
They cloak themselves in shells and chains
They try to fend off the inevitable pain
I am gifted to both soldiers and kings
My beauty can rival an angels wings
But do not forget the homely hearth
For it was probably my first place of birth
Conceived in the earth
Some use me with shame
And others with mirth
Once I’ve been tamed I hardly miss
And all men fear my deadly cold kiss
They cloak themselves in shells and chains
They try to fend off the inevitable pain
I am gifted to both soldiers and kings
My beauty can rival an angels wings
But do not forget the homely hearth
For it was probably my first place of birth
