(In Ballad form rhyming abab)
You yellow candle on green stem
Glowing beams in the sun
Captures the eyes from all of them
As they drive, walk or run.
You give light of love at Christmas
So warm and inviting
Nature's presents for all of us
Candle tree is glowing.
In St. Lucy and way beyond
In gardens and roadsides
Candlestick's beauty is au fond
The love of you resides…
You yellow candle on green stem
Glowing beams in the sun
Captures the eyes from all of them
As they drive, walk or run.
I see in those candle-like blooms
Beauty and metaphors
Hope and Nature talking volumes
Baby Jesus is ours.
Here, Lucy wears her saintly crown
Of candle bush that heals
Gives way to chatter in Speightstown
The prayer plant reveals…
You yellow candle on green stem
Glowing beams in the sun
Captures the eyes from all of them
As they drive, walk or run.
