The Wise In Heart
The sun is going down
Light the lamps
For darkness claims the sight
Five were wise and
Five were foolish
Trim the lamps came the cry
When darkness comes
It is too late to look for oil
At midnight
The bridegroom came
He saw five lamps alight
The wise He whisked away
Work while you have the light of day
For the nighttime comes
When no one can work.
