November the Fifth

And you, big rocket,
I watch how madly you fly
Into the smokey sky
With flaming tail;

Catherine Wheel,
I see how fiercely you spin
Round and round on your pin;
How I admire
Your circle of fire.

Roman Candle,
I watch how prettily you spark
Stars in the autumn dark
Falling like rain
To shoot up again.

And you, old guy,
I see how sadly you blaze on
Till every scrap is gone;
Burnt into ashes
Your skeleton crashes.

And so,
The happy ending of the fun,
Fireworks over, bonfire done;
Must wait a year now to remember
Another fifth of November.
