Using rhymes for light
Light rhymes with the same set as night, so a verse that uses both will often rhyme them with each other. To avoid the obvious pairing, try bright for intensity, sight for seeing, or invite for something warmer. *Guide* and side are good near rhymes that keep the long “i”.
Example lines
Two original couplets: one with a perfect rhyme, one with a near rhyme.
The kitchen smelled of bread, and every window was alight,
and you were standing in the doorway, framed in morning light.
You took my hand and didn’t say a word, just walked beside,
and all the way across the field you carried the light.
