Ah, there is one light,
Brighter than sunlight;
Fairer and clearer
Its beautiful ray;
Restful as twilight,
Star-twinkling high-light,
Lovelier, nearer
And dearer than they:

Hearthlight and homelight,
After the foam white,
After the tossing
O'er life's storm-swept way;
Here is the one light
Brighter than sunlight,
Lovelier, clearer
And dearer than day.
