about

Words from the chorus of 'The Little House Upon the Hill' (1915); a WW1 era song about yearning of home, by lyricist Ballard MacDonald. Discovered via Sussextraditions.org 

lyrics

Bright Light Burns in the window
Of the tiny little house upon the hill
Oh the lights will burn
And the hearts will yearn
Oh they always will
’Til i return
For there’s only one mother
I know she’s waiting still
And she’ll always keep the light a burning
Of the window of the house upon the hill
