FRAGMENT by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE CANDLE'S TALLOW
Last Line: IT WILL FAINT AND EXPIRE
Subject(s): CHURCHES;DEATH;PRAYER; "CATHEDRALS;DEAD, THE;"
The candle's tallow
Drips and drips
Till the flickering flame expires,
So the flame of my soul
In the Prayer-House wanes,
Till like the candle anon
It will faint and expire.
