It's rather difficult To explain What kind of light Ought to bathe A winter living room It cannot be too dark And clearly none too bright Its emanation we want We seers For on strolls It's a sofa And the yellowish Whitish Glow Of a room without television But with such Lampish deliberateness No mere bulb can transport A room to this flow Corners must be handled Ceiling must be measured And light vectors must be considered It's no one time thing More like a painting Tweaks And shades And perhaps even fire But do not relent Until that light is just right Not only for you But for the meanderer at night
