Candle Gate
Language: English
Who comes so late to Candle Gate? Who comes so late, By rainy bent and roaring spate? Who knocks so late at Candle Gate? Who knocks so late ? Who knocks so low, yet will not wait? Who rides in state from Candle Gate? Who rides in state, By rainy bent and roaring spate ? Who rides so slow, yet will not wait, Nor bide at all for love or hate ?
