Balmont K. The Yarn of Flame

Рф Бартон
Sisters three of evil fame —
Aye —
There — those fumes and flame —
Youngest sister, keep an eye:
Men — too wicked they became —
Should be burned till dawn is nigh.

Middle sister, shun delays,
Form the yarn to mesh.
Me, the eldest in our ways,
I’ve figured blood and flesh:
Beads are figures; in a blaze
They thirst to pulse afresh.

Lustrous fabrics twisted, steered:
Knot and thread;
We’re Weird, Weird, Weird,
Fervour into cloth we’ll spread.
Yarn aflame, threads are seared,
Burn them, spin them full of dread!
