The Hanging of the Holly
Reading edition
The holly is for happiness; Hang it, hang it high, When the holy morn we bless Shows its rose along the sky! The holly is for heartsome cheer; Hang it, hang it high, While the glory of the year Lights the heights of all the sky! The holly is for home-side mirth; Hang it, hang it high, Till the dearest day of earth Fades in shades along the sky!
