A LIFE more happy seemed to fill
The homestead meath the sheltering hill,
A gentle stir, like winds at play,
That kept in mind each Christmas Day
Upon the roof-tree, sloping down,
OF late had come a glistening crown
OF snow, and dropped beneath the caves
As thus the homestead peaceful stood
Amidst the winter quietude,
Inside the housewife piled her art
With busy hands and anxious heart.
For many days a conflict dire
Is waged 'twixt eatables and fire;
Still does the crane not cease to groan,
And still the oven holds its own.

Go seeking what they may devour,
The turkey at the feast is lost;
The chickens get the drum-sticks crossed;
And empty plates, just filled with pies,
