Keep the fires burning bright.

The fires bloom for those who have lost the day.

For burning fires shy away the dark of night.

And fires burn for those who have lost their way.

Keep the light burning bright.

For fires burning shy away the darkest night.

Keep the fires burning for horse and dray.

Keep the light so bright.

For fires burn away the deepest night.

Keep the fires burning till the last of the fray.

Keep the fires burning bold.

For fires burn away the dread of night.

Keep the fires burning so the light will stay, and slay the cold.

Keep the fires burning bright.

For fires burn away the dreary night.

Keep the fires burning till the first sun's ray

Keep the fires burning bright

For burning fires shy away the dark of night.
