The Poets light but Lamps Lyrics

883

The Poets light but Lamps
Themselves—go out
The Wicks they stimulate
If vital Light

Inhere as do the Suns
Each Age a Lens
Disseminating their
Circumference

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
