My candle burns at both ends
it will not last the night
but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends
it gives a lovely light
Edna St Vincent Millay
Give me just a little more light to see
what needs there are around me
Bring the candle closer so that I do not miss
the tear that must be wiped
the cheek that must be kissed
Bring the candle a little bit closer
so that before the dark sets in
I may give all the light I can
and that's poetiquejustis
