CHAPTER 43: Christmas Greetings...

[FROM A FAIRY TO A CHILD.] 

LADY dear, if Fairies may
For a moment lay aside
Cunning tricks and elfish play,
'Tis at happy Christmas-tide. 

We have heard the children say—
Gentle children. whom we love—
Long ago, on Christmas Day,
Came a message from above. 

Still, as Christmas-tide comes round,
They remember it again—
Echo still the joyful sound
"Peace on earth, good-will to men!" 

Yet the hearts must childlike be
Where such heavenly guests abide;
Unto children, in their glee,
All the year is Christmas-tide! 

Thus, forgetting tricks and play
For a moment, Lady dear,
We would wish you, if we may,
Merry Christmas, glad New Year! 
Christmas, 1867.
