"Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Oaken logs burn steadily
If the wood is old and dry;
Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last;
Chestnut's only good, they say
If for long it's laid away;
But ash new or ash old
Is fit for a Queen with a crown of gold;
It is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread;
Poplar gives a bitter smoke
Fills your room and makes you choke;
Applewood will scent your room
With an incese like perfume;
But ash wet or even ash dry
For a King to warm his slippers by..."
