Appeal + 

You who are so mighty, + 

crimson salamander, + 

hear me once more. + 

I lay among the half burned sticks + 

at the edge of the fire. + 

The fiend was creeping in. + 

I felt the cold tips of fingers⁠— + 

O crimson salamander! + 

Give me one little flame, + 

one! + 

that I may bind it + 

protectingly about the wrist + 

of him that flung me here, + 

here upon the very center! + 

This is my song. + 
