LIGHT VERSE, by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: At night the gas lamps light our street Last Line: Those lovely double burners! Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway Subject(s): Beauty; Eyes | ||||||||
At night the gas lamps light our street, Electric bulbs our homes; The gas is billed in cubic feet, Electric light in ohms. But one illumination still Is brighter far and sweeter; It is not figured in a bill Nor measured by a meter. More bright that lights that money buys, More pleasing to discerners, The shining lamps of Helen's eyes, Those lovely double burners! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BANGLA DESH: 2.
