May we dance in the firelight
And sway in the breeze
Set aglow with you
Amongst the midsummer trees
May these flights of fancy
Become long voyages borne
On the wings of dark angels
Blowing on gilded horn
And when the winter breeze
Creaks open our doors
May the grinning hearth
Warm our hearts to their cores
Watch them all; so merry, so bright
So filled with such wonderful light
Envious of those who carry their souls
In gilded mesh cages of lanterns aflight
Listen as the telltale ravings
Of men and women alike
Take flight and flare like midsummer suns
Amongst the chirps of a hunting shrike
And while the swirling storms batter our doors
Tear apart these terrible floors
So when the daily visitors arrive
It will be through pain that they shall thrive
