There The Oil-Lamp Burnt. Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

There The Oil-Lamp Burnt.



There the oil-lamp burnt.
Flickering of times as
In a film of history
It burnt and lighted.

Creaking heard I in the
Humid crypt wherein
Flickering and burning
The light dimmed yet turned

And scene after scene
The whole tale went
The whole tale built
And that was history.
