Six humans trapped by happenstance
In bleak and bitter cold.
Each one possessed a stick of wood
Or so the story's told.

Their dying fire in need of logs,
But the first one held hers back,
For, of the faces round the fire,
She noticed one was black.

The next man looking 'cross the way
Saw one not of his church,
And could not bring himself to give
The fire his stick of birch.
