for Christmas, through the banks, by
foreigners employed in America. This

rates of wages. the banks have been

And on a smiling little face beneath
a golden crown.
No happier child he saw that day on

Than the captains little daughter
with her treasures in her

For never was a stocking SO filled
with curious things.
There were bracelets made of pretty

An elephant carved deity from a bit

a fan, an alligator tooth and a lit

Not a tar aboard the Polly but felt

For a child had touched them by her
