Candles
(Words by Constantine P. Cavafy)

Days yet to come stretch out before us
a row of lighted candles
all golden warm and lively little candles
The other days they bygone passed , fall behind us
burned out candles on a mournful row ,
a few of them , the nearest are still smoking
but most are cold melted and deformed .

I dread to look upon them
their state , it saddens me remembrance of their light
instead I look ahead at my lighted candles .

I dread to turn back
for fear of seeing with horror
how fast the dark line
is getting longer
I dread to look back
for the fear of seeing with horror
how fast the dark line
is getting longer

a candle
my candles

how fast the number of dead candles has grown
