Beechwood burns bright and clear, Hornbeam blazes too,
If the logs are kept a year, to season through-and-through.
Larch logs of pinewood smell, But the sparks will fly!
Birch logs burn too fast, Alder scarce at all.
Chestnut logs are good to last, If cut in the fall.
Holly logs will burn like flax, No flame is seen.
Pear logs and Apple logs, They will scent your room.
Cherry logs across the dogs, Smell like flowers in bloom.
But ash logs all smooth and grey, burn the green or old.
Buy up all that come your way, They're worth their weight in GOLD!
