A fire broke out in a place I did not name.
A fire broke out in a place I shall not name
And we have a fire without a flame.
And we have a fire with no blazing flames

As though the lightning’s gleam were its smoke—
As if the flash of lightning was its smoke
Lightning that gleamed amid a rising mist.
Lightning that shone through the mist's billowy cloak
