A sunbeam crept in through a chink in

And danced on my pillow, and walked me

He was out for lark and determined to

The shop where old Santa Claus loaded
his sleigh.
ut is hours since l started. 1 sped
through the sky
And lit on an island-the fairest on
earth
Where Winter comes not till the Summer
Is nigh
A flower-covered land, where the day has
its birth.
Every morning is Christmas, and Christ
mas all day;
Every house is toy shop; the houses
are toys,
And the rose gardens frollc like children
at play,
And rosebuds are blossomlng, prone to
be boys.
80 westward, ho! westward | hastened
my flight
Past temples of Buddha and Chlna's great
WALL
No reindeer nor sleigh loads Of toys were
in sight
The heather Chinee has no Christmas at
all.
"And the Hindoo, the Arab, the Persian
and Turk,
without Santa Claus all were in ptiful
state.
Your missions must hasten their mercl-
full work.
For the Russians keep Christmas q fort
night too late.
"But found the Yule fires in the dear
fGtherland,
Where 'das kind waited not for my COM

Twas the starlight of Bethlehem kndled
the brand
AS II shone on the cot where the infant
Christ lay.
From the East come the beams of the
earliest dawn:
From the East came the message of love
to mankind;
From the West comes It's CLEAN when
the daylight is gone;
From the West shines q JOY that gives
light to the blind.

And The shops where he gets all his trlnk-

He travels by lovellght; my journey is
