"Light the first of eight tonight
The farthest candle to the right Light the first and second too When tomorrow's day is through Then light three, and then light four And then each day one candle more Till all eight burn bright and high Honoring a day gone by When the Temple was restored Rescued from a Syrian lord And an eight day feast proclaimed The Festival of Lights, well named To celebrate that joyous day When we regained the right to pray To our own God in our own way." — Forgotten Teenage Author, Highlights Children's Magazine |
