     Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her.  The little maiden stretched out her hands towards them when--the match went  out. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven.  ~ The Little Match Girl  by Hans Christian Andersen
