Christopher Morley (Кристофер Морли)

Light Verse

At night the gas lamps light our street,
    Electric bulbs our homes;
The gas is billed in cubic feet,
    Electric light in ohms.

But one illumination still
    Is brighter far, and sweeter;
It is not figured in a bill,
    Nor measured by a meter.

More bright than lights that money buys,
    More pleasing to discerners,
The shining lamps of Helen's eyes,
    Those lovely double burners!
