LIGHTS, by                    
First Line: There are happy lights and lonely lights
Last Line: Makes shadows on the floor.
Subject(s): Light


There are happy lights and lonely lights
That seem to call to me,
And white, far-reaching, warning lights
That shine across the sea.

The twinkling lights of villages,
The steady lights of town,
And red and amber signal lights
Like jewels in a crown.

The square-faced, tall old lamp-post lights,
And misty lights through rain,
And at the shrines the candle lights,
To soothe poor souls in pain.

I think that in some heaven house,
Behind some jasper door,
The light my mother trims for me
Makes shadows on the floor.
