CANDLE LIGHTS, by                    
First Line: When my windows blaze with light
Last Line: They bring to me.
Subject(s): Candles


When my windows blaze with light
and warmth and cheer,
No one knows that shadows dark
may linger near.
But when darkness spreads a pall
and lights go out,
I light my unseen candles
my fears to rout.

Yellow ones bring courage back;
Their steady glow
Restores my fast-failing faith
and cheers me so.
Candles white are prayers to me;
When burning bright
They seem to bring me peace and hope
through darkest night

When I'm humbled and my pride
goes trailing low,
Many candles red and tall
give cheery glow.
When loneliness besets me,
small candles blue
Light for me the lonely hour
I'm living through.

I go about my lighted rooms
where candles burn,
And feel my courage rise again
and hope return.
Colorful candles flaming
unseen may be,
But peace and joy and gladness
they bring to me.
