Christmas Lonq AGO.

Come sing hale heigh-ho
For the Christmas long ago
When the Old log cabin homed us
From the niraJ ~ binding snow.
And the rarcS' 10Y held reign.
And the chimney roared amain.
With the freight like a beacon
Through the frosty windowpane-
All. the revel and the din
From without and from within.
The blend OF distant sleighbells
with the blinking violin.
The mufficd shrieks and cries.
Then the glowing cheeks and eyes.
The driving storms OF greetings.
Gusts OF kisses and surprise!
Sing in again the mirth
OF the circle round the hearth.
With the rustic Sindbad telling Us
The strangcst things on earth.
And the minstrel bard We knew.
With his II ove-i-er 50 true
Likewise his Young TIouse-k' carpenter
Ard Loved Henry" TOO!
And. forgetting ne'er a thing.
Lift a gladdcr voice and sing
or the dancers in the kitchen
Clean from start 10 pigeon winS
Sing the glory ard the eiee
AID the ioE and JUBILEE
The twirl!nS fo::,l. she IuicHened Lrt"ih
The sigh Of ecstasy
But eyes that smile alone
Back into our happy ,vn.
