I'LL TAKE HALF OF THE CANDLE

AND LEAVE HALF FOR YOU.

NOW DON'T LET GO OF IT.

WHY DON'T YOU SING, BECKY,

AND YOU WON'T BE LONESOME.

IF EVER I SEE:

ON BUSH OR...

TREE:

YOUNG BIRDS:

IN THEIR PRETTY NES I MUST NOT IN PLAY

STEAL:

THE YOUNG BIRDS AWAY

TO GRIEVE:

THEIR MOTHER'S BREAS IF EVER I SEE

BECKY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

BECKY, THERE'S LIGHT!

BECKY!

BECKY, I'M COMIN' FOR YOU.

AND THEN THIS HEROIC BOY

ACTUALLY WENT BACK

INTO THAT AWFUL DARKNESS

AND SOMEHOW, SOME WAY,

BROUGHT OUR BECKY

OUT TO SAFETY.

NO COMMONPLACE BOY

COULD HAVE DONE THAT,

NO BOY OTHER:

THAN THE NOBLE LAD
