before Christmas In 1823 Doctor Moore wrote for his children a Christmas poem and they were delighted with the rollocklng tale as other children not only In this country but In many other lands have been ever since A daughter of Rev Dr David Butler rector of St Paul’s church at Troy N Y who was a niece of Doctor Moore was a Christmas guest In the Moore home and made a copy of the poem in her album The next year she sent a copy of It to the Troy Sentinel and It appeared In that paa note from the edby prefaced per itor saying he did not know who had sent It By the next year It had appeared In many other newspnpers and magazines and within a few years It had found Its way Into the schoolbooks By this time Inquiries were beginning to be made as to Its authorship and eventually Doctor Moore none too well pleased that his “silly poem" was so well known whereas his lexicon” at“Compendlus scholarly tracted little attention except from other scholars admitted Its authorship end—gave- the autographed— original— of the poem to the New manuscript York Historical society time In Its original form the poem differs slightly from the present version blue skies and bright sunshine But wherever and under what conditions Christmas comes It Is a welcome day a time of gladness and good rheer of true and sincere friendliness and good will Under Its Influence hearts thrill with happiness
