The lights are on but there's nobody home EnglishFrench Lamps illuminate a house, but when it comes to absence of people, they stand unseen. Dwellings lacking individual presence remain without light. Not a soul to greet the beam, no one's property to lighten up. Empty houses stay void of light, leaving the lamps pointless. Glow seeks people, but in absence of people's home, there's no one to brighten.
