At last! At last!
Hanukkah is here!
The whole house is bursting
with holiday cheer.

Pancakes are sizzling as
hard as they can,
Browning delectably
crisp in the pan.

The dreidels can scarcely
wait to be spun;
Presents are hidden
for Hanukkah fun;

And there, on the table,
polished and bright,
The shining menorah
gleams through the night,

Like the oil lamp
in ancient history,
That burned on and
on miraculously!

And each flaming candle
proclaims the great story
Of the Maccabean heroes,
their deeds and their glory.
