My
Little Candle
My little candle
does shed
a little circle of light,
which guides
my way in life
on a migratory flight.
The warmth I feel
within my heart
it stays,
and in the setting suns
on my horizon
does my spirit plays.
Rejoice thus I
within its glow
a flicker on my cheeks does show,
to smile with nature's creations
whose names
I need not know.
So might I remain
forever true and free
from snaring Dead Knowledge,
to hold fast my candle vigil
over the lightness
of my passage.
Whence with age my eyes doth fail
I hope the sparkle within
to keep,
and follow my heart
into the wonders
of a star-spangled sleep. |
