Look closely, for in the brazier is a most wondrous sight,
Behold in the fire brand a wondrous sight,
when an ember of fire roams through its charcoal,
when in its hot embers a spark bursts alight.

as when a pourer tilted the cask of clarified wine,
Like the ruby red tinge on the cup's gleaming rim,
and the wine’s redness crept into the pitch’s blackness.
when the wine's crimson blush rises within.
