On an Antique Iron Wall Sconce

Out of this basket    a bright bouquet
Of orange fire    like flowers flamed
Each day at dusk    in days of old. 
Now only the rose    of rust remains,
Whose parched petals    peel away 
And fall to the floor    in russet flakes 
The next strong wind    will sweep away.
