The Chanukah Lights Tale

It was an old man, frail in body but a giant in spirit, who first raised the banner of revolt

Have no fear, for it is not our weapons that defeated the enemy in the past

They destroyed one battalion after another, but there seemed no end

Triphon wanted to murder the king and then proclaim himself king

Now there was only one left of the five brave sons of Mattityahu

There was a venerable man among them. He was always on his feet

Every morning he would invariably find the western lamp burning

Even in the darkest of all nights for our people, we, the little Chanukah Lights
