Christmas.
All hall merry Christmasl the glad Christmas
day.
When the mistletoe hangs In the parior and
halls,
With the Christmas tree dressed In Its trimmings
so gay,
And the holly wreaths festooned on windows
and walls.
All verdure has psrished, the insects are dead.
Their voices are quiet on meadow and hill;
The birds TO SUMMER climate have fed,
Their homes In the forest are silent and still.
The trees have been stripped of their fruit one
by one,
The crops are all stored ia the cellar and barn.
The harvest Is ended. the labor Is done,
All things are made tidy and snug round the
farm.
The leaves have all withered and dropped to the
ground,
Meath the trees like a thick heavy carpet they
lie,
The keen. northeast wind has a sharp, dismal
sound
Prociaiming that cold chilly winter is nigh.
The month of December, though dreary and
cold,
Bears message to all on the glad Christmas
morn,
IL tells sweet story that never grows old,
That Jesus. the Christ-ehiid. our Saviour, was
born
God speaks to US in soft, gentle voice,
And whispers to nature with tenderest care,
Let every one hear Him. believe and rejoice,
That He governs the universe everywhere.
