Show f Christmas Land By MINNA IRVING In Family Herald and Star - Siv- OH, CHRISTMAS LAND it not to far, It'i just across the hall Within the little living room Where holly decks the walL Right in the middle stands a tree With crimson tinsel gay, And strange and wondrous ii the fruit It bears on Christmas Day. An apple and an orange grow Upon the same green bough, A wagon and a rocking horse, A sled and spotted cow; And nuts and sparkling sugar plums. And drums and skates and horns, And dolls with flaxen tresses drop Like pears on windy morns. But only little boys and girli That always mind at school And ktow their daily lessons weft, And try to keep each rule, And say their prayers both morn and night. Can hope to join the band Of happy children round the tree That grows in Christmas Land. |
