The Lamp Gives Light

In deep mourning stands this hou

In deep mourning stands this house
Its windows closed and barred
Even birds refuse to nest under its rotting roof
What sorrows can this old house tell
Where has the laughter gone
Once it was grand with loving songs
Music played on a concert grand
Carpets of gold and green
What ails thee house may I ask
Where the windows are faded and dark
Even the garden has grown like the wild
Tall grasses cover every path
Windswept unkempt upon the steps
Gone the happy laughter
No more the sounds of children's voices
Where have the people gone I ask
For their graves can be seen forlorn and old
Lost in the meadows green
The house on the hill is sad and grey
The roof on the barn has gone astray
Blown and ruined one night in a storm
Left bereft and alone

Valerie
