when the skies are dark and the lake below.
And the dead leaves whir on the rising gale;
When the crickets' chirp Is moan of woe
And the crows are cawing their solemn tale,
What 10 the hope of the dying year?
Sweet, the Christmas time draws near.
When the branches creak through the lonesome
night
And the rafters groan as the winds engage,
When the children shudder In strange Albright
AS against the window the storm dends rage
Then through the glimmer Of Sparkling rime
Nearer is coming the Christmas-time."
