THE MISTLETOE.
~ HARRY CORNWALL.

i've publish the following rhymes for the
benefit of those who have been the recipients
Of mistletoe from friends now in the Sunny
south:"]
When winter nights grow long
And Winds without grow cold, a... =,
We sit IN ring round the warm wood-6re,
And listen to stories old
And we'try to look grave (as maids should be)
When the men bring in boughs of the Laurel tree
Q, the Laurel, the evergreen tree!
The Poets have laurels-and why not We!
How pleasant, when night falls down,
And hides the wintry sun,
To see them come in to the blazing fire,
And know that their work is done:
Whilst many bring in, with laugh or rhyme;
Green branches Of Holly. for Christmas time !;
y, the Holly, the bright green holly!
II tells (like tongue) that the times
are jolly.
Sometimes lin our grave house,
Observe, this happeneth not;)
But at times, the evergreen Laurel boughs
And the Holly are all forgot!
Aud then what then why the men laugh low
And hang up branch Of the Mistletoe.
Oh, brave is the Laurel and brave is
the Holly!
But the AIistletoe banisheth melancholy!
-ah, nobody knows, nor never shall know
What is done-under the Mistletoe!
