Lady dear, if Fairies mayFor a moment lay asideCunning 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 beWhere such heavenly guests abide:Unto children, in their glee,All the year is Christmas-tide! Thus, forgetting tricks and playFor a moment, Lady dear,We would wish you, if we may,Merry Christmas, glad New Year! Chr
