Show ! THAT BLESSED I I TIME I I By MYRTELLA SOUTHERLAND ? in Detroit Frea Press i AH, CHRISTMAS is that very blessed time, In all the hurry and the rush of things. When thoughts return, as though on soaring wings Of warbling birds, to olden friends In rhyme. In Christmas letters written In our prime. Light-hearted youth, and age that sits and clings To memory or gifts through which there sings Love's message sweet to mark the day sublime. So I, too, welcome all the dear return Of interest that comes my happy way When Christmas bells and wreaths proclaim pro-claim the mirth And joy of Yuletide's hour, when grate-fires grate-fires burn To add their warmth unto the holiday. And fling good wishes o'er the friendly earth. |
