Let There Be Light......

Hello Everyone:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I have gathered together another collection that holds court in this little Cottage.

Some you have already seen, some you have not, and some you will see again in the future.

Without further ado, shall we begin?

THE LAMPLIGHTER

My tea in nearly ready and the sun has left the sky.

  It's time to take the window to see Leerie going by; 

For every night at teatime and before you take your seat,

With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.

Now Tom would be a driver and Maria go to sea,

And my papa's a banker and as rich as he can be.

But I, when I am stronger and can choose what I'm to do,

O Leerie, I'll go round at night and light the lamps with you!

For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door,

And Leerie stops to light it as he lights so many more;

And oh! before you hurry by with ladder and with light;

O Leerie, see a little child and nod to him to-night!

     Robert Louis Stevenson

Light and Love....Judy
