A SONG FOR CHRISTMAS EVE.
Reading edition
BY FRANK DEMPSTER SHERMAN.
Come, draw around the fire, And watch the sparks that go All singing like a fairy choir Into the realms of snow. Above us evergreen, With mistletoe in sprays, And tenderly the leaves between The holly-berries blaze. And while the logs burn bright, Before the day takes wing, The happy children, gowned in white, Their merry carols sing. Then high the stockings lift, Like hungry beggars dumb. Good Santa Claus, bring every gift, And fill them when you come!
