CHRISTMAS

Winter, dull winter makes Christmas look dreary,

But inside the logs in the fire crack cheery.

The holly-decked walls are warm with the glow,

While outside a-howling the wind doth blow. 

With reindeer and sleigh old Santa doth come,

When snow is whirling and night is dumb;

When the geese-downs in blizzards do silently blow,

When the white-ladies come dancing down slow.
