Friendly Lights
Reading edition
Welcome greetings through the dark From the lamp light burning clear In some lonely home, a spark Radiating warmth and cheer. Lighthouse darting from the lea Flaming lances o’er the foam, Wandering mariners at sea You are guiding safely home. Glow worm on a summer night Torch within an elfin hand, Marking by your zig zag flight Ways obscure to fairy land. Starry twinkle in the blue To illumine worlds on high Far off orb we share with you Friendliness of earth and sky.
