A CHRISTMAS MINUET.

When silver flutes and vfolinsl
In Christmas land are signing
A dreamy waltz that sets the feet
OF youths and maidens flying.
see among the plain black coats
And girlish rosebud faces
Strange figures of the long ago
Come out and take their places.
IN stomachers and gay brocades
That Time has stained and faded,
In buckled shoes and velvet suits
With gold belaced and braided,
They tread a stately minuet,
The courtiiest of dances,
And underneath the mistletoe
Renew their old romances,
When chimes are rung and carols sung
And snow the landscape covers,
The spirit of the olden time
Around the holly hovers;
Then every shadow to my gaze
A powdered head diScloses.
And all the air is family sweet
With lavender and roses.
With lifted skirts of pink and blue;
They courtesy down the middle;
I hear above the stops and strings
The spinet and the fiddle,
The creaking of a coach and four
Between the pines and laurels.
And footsteps in the frozen snow.
That vanish with the carols.
