While age has but fretting and worry and tears?

To fraction my wants; they simple and few
What acres fence ten miles long may enclose.

To he up at daylight within it to peep

But know should miss him by falling TO sleep.
Hang up my stockingl Ali many year
From the man el at Chris TN IS my stocking hung
To find it quite emp each morning appear;
Yeti my faith is as hearty as when was young.
Hang up my stocking for, mark you, we had,
As presents by doing it. numbers of things,
Some good, some Indifferent, others quite bad;
Some suited for beggars, some fitted for kings.
Hang up my stocking One day of my life
hung up my stocking: next morning rose,
And there, peeping out from the top, wife
How shouted with gladness st. Nicholas knows
Hang up my stocking These children around
Were gifts from the saint, though on other days
sent,
To me Old age of more value profound,
Than fame to be lost, or than wealth to be spent.
Hang up my stocking along with the boys
How they shout at the order What faces they
pull,
But there's hope at the bottom OF ali their noise
That at morning their stockings at least will b
full.
Hang up my stockings 4 vain, by the W.,
For l know why the saint viii not pleasure m!
whm,
While 1 asked him for me to the Father to pray
The idolatrous children were praying to him.
