"Boys should be good in summer, and better in the fall, but along about December they should be best of all." Alice Crowell Hoffman. |
From All These Signs by Blanche Elizabeth Wade
A Holly wreath; a Santa Claus;
A spray of mistletoe;
A candy cane; a rope of grease;
Some stockings in a row;
A chime of bells from tall church-tower;
A carol sung with glee;
Sharp, frosty air; a glowing log;
A stately hemlock-tree;
Bright tinsel gleam; soft candle-light;
A great star in the sky;
The sound of sleigh-bells in the air;
A hint of reindeers nigh;
A parcel tied with gay, red blow;
A secret, too, to hide-
From all these signs, why any one
Would know 'twas Christmas-tide!
