THE LAMPLIGHTER

From lamp to lamp, from street to street,

He speeds with faintlier echoing feet,

A pause--a glint of light!

And, lamp by lamp, with stars he marks his round.

So Love, when least of Love we dream,

Comes in the dusk with magic gleam.

A pause--a touch--so slight!

And life with clear celestial lights is crowned.
