Many legends down ages retold.
Lanterns! Lanterns! For children to hold.
Buy some lanterns for your little ones:
One for your daughters, one for your sons!
When by darkness the world is enfold,
Little children enact tales of old.
How prettily the candle will dance,
In such a way your child to entrance!
How daintily his/her little hand will
Try not to shake, and to keep it still!
Buy lanterns! Make the world gay with light:
Red light, green light, blue light – bright at night!
