Martinmas - the Lantern Festival



My lantern, my lantern,
Sun and Moon and Starlight.
In the darkened heaven high,
Shine no stars within the sky.
Darkened is the path this night.
With no moon or star as light.
My lantern, my lantern,
Sun and Moon and Starlight.
Friendly little lantern bright,
Be my sun and shield this night.
Be my moon and sun so high.
No light is in the sky.
