Words

Candlewax and candlewhite,
tell me: when it's Christmas night

Will the tree be dressed and lit?
Can I come and look at it?

Will the Star be in the sky?
Will the kings go riding by?

Will the shepherds watch their sheep
patiently, nor fall asleep?

Will the angels shine, and sing
Alleluya! Christ is king?

Candlewax and candlewhite…
Yes, my love, on Christmas night.

Jean Kenward (b.1920)
