Alexis Olmstead Poet I do not know?

Candle Light

By candle light I write,
By candle light I dream, 
        Of faraway places.
By candle light I see the face
Of the one who'll take my place.
And I dream of the day 
When I'll be no more,
I'll be knocking on Heaven's sweet door.
    And you'll have to worry no more.
I'll always eat, 
never purge,
   Just let me go and soon.
By candle light,
My sweet knife,
Gleams like the light from the moon.
            My life will come to an end
            How I'll miss it, my dear
            And all by candle light I fear.
Turn on the lights,
Blow out the candle,
                                  On death I now have a handle,
                              No need to burn no more 
                                                tonight
I am already reaching for Heaven


                     and 

Candle light.
