A Feel I'm The Christmas Air.
BY JAMES WRITCOMB RILEY


They's a kind O. feel in the air to
When the Christmas time sets in
That's about as much of mystery
AS ever I've run ag'in.
Fer instance, now, while gain in weight
And ginera1 health, | swear
Thay's goneness somers can't quite state
A kind O. feel in the air.
They's a feel in the Christmas air goes right
To the spot where "a man lives at!
1t gives fellow apette--
They amt doubt about that!
And yit theys somepin-I don't know what
That foers me here and there
A kind O. feel in the air.
They's feel, as say, in the air that's jst
AS blamed-on sad as sweet,
In the same ra--sho as feel the best
And am the spryest on my feet
They's always kind o sort of a ache
That can't locate no where,
A kind O. feel in the air.
Is it the racket the children raise?
Why, no God bless 'ern, no.
Is it the eyes and cheeks ablaze,
Like my own WIZ long ago?
Is it the bleat O. the whistle and beat
O. the little toy drum and blare
o. the horn? No, no! 1t is jist the sweet
The sad--Sweet feel in the air.
