THOUGHTS FOR CHRISTMAS
Heap on more wood! The wind is chill; But let it whistle as it will, We’ll keep our Christmas merry still. And the stately lilies stand, Fair in the silvery light, Like saintly vestals, pale in prayer; Their pure breath sanctifies the air, As its fragrance fills the night. We ring the bells And we raise the strain, We hang up garlands everywhere, And bid the tapers twinkle fair, And feast and frolic —and then we go Back to the same old lives again. CooHdge*
