DECEMBER.

On Christmas day. when fires were lit
Ana all our breakfasts done,
We spread our toys out on the floCr
And played there in the sun.
The nursery smelled of Christmas tree,
And under where it stood
The shepherds watched their flocks of sheen
All made of painted wood.
Outside the house the air was cold
And quiet all about,
Till far across the snowy roofs
The Christmas bells rung out.
But soon the sleigh bells jingled by
Upon the street below,
And people on the way to church,
Went crunching through the snow.
/ 60 not see how any child
Is cross on Christmas day,
When all the lovely toys are new,
And every one can play.
