~ Lanterns Gleam ~

Lanterns gleam, the bright flames leap and play
As wild and vibrant music pours out
And the rafters ring and throng the dancers gay
With movements swift they circle about
High above the snow-capped countryside
The moonlight shines with radiant beam
And the dancers, weary, open casements wide
To view the night in beauty serene.
