Probably no festival has ever given
birth to 30 much real poetry and pleasant
rhyme ~ Christmas. Years ago 1t was
the custom in old Englsnd to sing carols
about the streets late into Christmas eve
and early on Christmas morn. These
carols might seem strange to modern
ears; for while many OF them were
charming and graceful, Others were Gu,
rious or even grotesque: They were hlled
with legends concerning the Advent,
most wonderful events being r%ecounted,
and vet With a picturesque simplicity,
lust AZ If no one could think them any.
thing unexpected. The so-called " man.
ger songs" were often quantity sweet,
and they were used on Christmas day in
the place of hymns in churches. Quite
different were the merry yule songs OF
the old English Christmas:
"Come, bring with = noise,
Ny merry, merry boys.
The Christmas log to the firing;
While my good dame she
Bids'you all b, free,
And drink to your hearts desiring"
And the thought of feasting is made
prominent in numberless old rhymes,
as
"Lordlinss, Christmas loves good drinking
Wines u assceigne, france, Anjou,
English ale, that drives out thinking,
Prince Of liquors. old or new"
"Be glad, both more and less,
For his hath ordained our steward,
To cheer you all this Christmas
The boar's head and mustard!'
Christmas carols have not grown unpOp-
ular, but they have changed, both in
composition and rendering, to conform
the modern ideas of beauty and refine
ment. Songs adapted to the comprehen-
sion and tastes Of children abound-songs
suited to religious services appropriate
to the day as we'll as to the merry house
hold festival. Every child has heard or
read with infinite delight.
"'Twss the night before Christ mas, and all
through the house
Not q creature was stirring, not even a mouse"
and scores of other rhymes of like beau
ty. The delightful myth of Santa Claus
is one to which juvenile faith tenaciously
clings, and the mystery is repeated from
eldest to youngest with a freshness never
sullied:
"Hang up the baby's stocking;
Be sure you don't forget
The dear little dimpled darling
She never saw Christmas yet;
But I've told her all about It,
And she opened her big blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understands IL,
She looked 40 funny and wise.
Dear! what = tiny stocking!
1t Doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Away from the frost and cold;
But then for the baby's Cnristmss
1t never would do a: alfi
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small"
Everybody, whether young or old
feels a thrill of pleasure at the return Of
this long-observed festival, and ~rejoice'
that the time is at hand when
:" Out In the midnight's white and starry splendol
Once more the glad bells ring,
While softer human voices. sweet and tender,
lie sor & Of Christmas sing.
I Christmas is GOMEZ"
