LIGHTSl
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Now the streets are flooded with lights Among the finest of illumined sights. After slndown they pick up the glow, Lights and lights arranged just so. Garlands stretch across the street. You should see them-qute treat. =. Tn the middle bell or a star Which is visible from afar. And as the December days go by, Lights are like stars from on high. Every hillside is dotted with light, Lights shine from windows on bright night. The season of illumination is at hand, Like the star in the east in an ancient land. It's lights, lights everywhere you go, Who knows how soon they will shine on snow!
