THE FORGOTTEN GIFT.

On the night before Christmas your
heart will be sad
If you know that you've failed to
make somebody glad
With gift, or a letter, or token of
love,
And you'll think, though too late
what you'd give just to prove
That you care as you'd have them
believe that you care;s
And you'll gaze in the fire with long,
empty stare,
And resolve that next Christmas you
will not forget
The hearts that are bowed and the
eyes that are wet,
Next Christmas! All, yes, if it found
us the same,
The vow you make now might be
more than a name;
But maybe the eyes that now sparkle
so bright
May be closed by next Yuletide for.
ever in night
So, do it today-the deed that you
feel
In your heart to be best for humanitys
veal
Help the weary today with the loads
that they bear,
For, maybe, next year they'll not need
your care
