BLUE SMOKE

by: Karle Wilson Baker (1878-1960)

      he flame of my life burns low
      Under the cluttered days,
      Like a fire of leaves.
      But always a little blue, sweet-smelling smoke
      Goes up to God.

"Blue Smoke" is reprinted from Blue Smoke. Karle Wilson Baker. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1919.
