To Anne who threw snow at me
Maurice Ravel
Anne in fun threw snow at me
which I found cold for certain:
but it was fire, the experience I had
for suddenly I was caressed
So, as fire secretly dwells
within the snow, where can I find a place
that does not burn? Anne, only your kindness
can extinguish the fire which consumes me
not with water, snow, or ice,
But with a fire like unto my own.
