You and I and our heads of smoke.

Some of the smokes God dropped on the job

Cross on the sky and count our years

And sing in the secrets of our numbers;

Sing their dawns and sing their evenings,

Sing an old log-fire song:

You may put the damper up,

You may put the damper down,

The smoke goes up the chimney just the same.
