CHRISTINE s

CHRISTMAS.
| Oh, say, you good people with plenty,
Don't look in your stockings to see
What Santa has brought you this morning
| To cheer your prosperity,
| But look you, instead, in the stockings
| Which, empty, hang limp the hook,
| And let, from your own overmeasure,
Some Santa stuff follow your look.
| Then you needn't look into your stockings
To discover what kind of crop
The harvest of Christmas has brought you,
Because they'll be full to the top.
