129—THE LITTLE HOUSE UPON THE HILL

There's a light that's burning in the window
Of a little house upon the hill,
And the light will burn, and a heart will yearn,
And it always will till I return.
For there's only one mother,
I know she's waiting still,
And she'll always keep the light a-burning
In the window of the house upon the hill.
