Tales From October Volume II

And still I searched some more
Growing more and worse
In a desperation
Fearing for what I'd see
In the bitter smoke
And burning flames

"Hello, is there anyone still inside?"

So this I cried me out
A time or three
And heard no reply
Which filled me not with joy
For I knew what I knew
And knew this bad to be

But what but else
Was I to do
As not could I leave
No not could I leave
As that would be
A saying of death
To any hope
Of saving another here

'Twas then of course
That I spotted a woman
To smoke succumbed
So with a cry of joy
I flew to her
And scooped her up
Yes in my arms
And thought hopefully
Of what I'd done
