CHRISTMAS DAY.
How will it dawn, tho coming Christmas Day?. A northern Christmas, such as painters I love, And kinsfolk, shaking hands but once a year, ■ And dames, who tell old legends by tho fire? Bed sun, blue sky, white snow, and pearled ice, Ivoen ringing air, which sets the blood on fire, And makes tho old man merry with tho young, Through the short sunshine, through the longer night?. In whatsoever garb, or gay or sad, Come fair, come foul, 'twill still be Christmas Day. r-Charles Kingsley,
