about

Chandelier Light – The Millett Opera House in Austin was built in 1878. There is a legend that a lady in lace leapt to her death from the theatre’s balcony. She is still sometimes seen in the shadows or heard causing the boards to creak on the staircase. The chandelier lights shine deeply into the mirrors and seem to light pathways back in time to the mysteries and tragedies of a different century.

Chandelier Light

© 2021 by Eric Dahl

She lives up on the third floor,
Comes down after hours,
And though she speaks to no one,
You sense her charm and powers.
She smiles across the flickering light,
Sorrow in her face,
No one knows the lady in lace.

Chandelier light goes back forever
In the mirror down the hall,
Sometimes she waltzes with her lover,
Though no one’s there at all.

You hear the floorboards creaking
Up and down the stair,
A doorknob turns, the lights go dim,
You look and no one’s there.
She might be in the balcony,
Leaning toward the stage,
As the curtains open on another age.

Chandelier light . . .

Tell me the truth my friend,
Did someone break your heart?
Tell me where the ghost tales end
And where the true ones start.
The past is filled with such fine things
It makes this life seem thin,
But that mirror cannot let us in.

Chandelier light . . .
