Three candles in a row, Tall thin steady in the still They reach and spread their glow, Not quite the room they fill, But t’is enough to eat by candlelight. The wax pools and flows, Running down the side to table, Burning down still it shows The walls and corners when able, But t’is enough to sit in candlelight. The wax in one is spent, It flickers and leaves illumination, Part of watching has went Lessening the observation; But t’is enough to drink by candlelight. Soon another is gone, Deepening the realm of shadows, And with the only one Reflects on the joys and sorrows; Yet t’is enough to think by candlelight. The last leaves darkness, As that is all the room can contain, Steals away happy and sadness Till only me and the dark remains; And t’is enough to dream void candlelight. Gloom |

Oh, I adore this, dear Aszard, alias Professor Gloom! I love candlelight so much and I will save this precious poem to read it again. Your reflections in the light and in the dark are equally beautiful! Love, Margherita  |
