By George R. Sims. First performed September 10, 1881.
The way was long and weary, but gallantly they stode. A country lad and lassie, along the heavy road. The night was dark and stormy, but blithe of heart were they, for shining in the distance, the lights of London lay. O gleaming lamps of London, that gem the city's crown, what fortunes lie within you, o lights of London town. / With faces worn and weary, that told of sorrows load, one day a man and woman, crept down a country road. They sought their native village, heart-broken from the fray, yet shining still behind them, the lights of London lay. O cruel lights of London, if tears your lamps could drown, your victim's eyes would weep them, o lights of London town.--inset captions on the poster.
