Sol 5.6

  1. Morning’s banner fluttered, and the fire

    had a blaze like a yellow banner.

  2. It flashed before the eyes after blackness,

    and the pitch-black depths of darkness shone.

  3. It settled beneath the ash and seemed

    like gold beneath white silver.

  4. So pass round the pearl-bright cup, brimming

    with molten red carnelian.
