HOME TO SANTA CLAUS,

bitter nisht-a squalid street
A basement bleak and bare,
A hungry child with bleeding feet
Alone sat waiting there.
All day amid the surging throng
She'd wandered far and near
All day had sung feeble song
That none had paused to hear.
But as she sang she caught the name
OF Santa Claus, and how
On Christmas night he often came
To hungry children now.
And 50 she waited in the dark
For Santa Claus to come
Till in her breast the feeble spark
OF hope grew faint and numb.
She thought because she had no light
He failed to bring her share,
And crept at last into the night
To lead the good saint there.
And Christmas morning came, and 10!
Her dead face smiled, because
Amid whirring drift of snow
Her little weary soul know
Had found it's Santa Claus.
