—Flaming, flaring, fuming,
Cracking, crackling, creeping,
Hissing and consuming:
Mighty is the fire. 1360
In. Stay, stay, cease your rejoicings. Where is he,
The prophet,—nay, what say I,—the god, the giver?
Chor. He is not here—he is gone.
In. Search, search around.
Search all, search well.
Chor. He is gone,—he is not here.
