IF there's no Sun, I still can have the Moon ; <br />If there's no Moon, the Stars my needs suffice ; <br />And if these fail, I have my Evening Lamp ; <br />Or, Lampless, there's my trusty Tallow Dip ; <br />And if the Dip goes out, my Couch remains, <br />Where I may sleep and dream there's Light again.<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/philosophy-24/
