Show H' A WORD TO CHRISTMAS. B By Theodosla Garrison. h m Haste Merrie Christmas oh your way I Nor let your way be long, We welcome you with holiday With laughter and with song. Forget that fragile shop-girl who Stands ten long hours because of you, Serving "that fretful, crowding crew Who 'round your symbols throng. HI Haste Merrie Christmas, all our house HI With mirth and cheer is bright. H ; Within your presence we carouse Hj i With joyous friends and light. H 1 Forget amid your feast and fun H l That home-sick country boy, alone H ' N In some hall-bedroom, with not one H To take his hand tonight. I. i Hail, Merrie Christmas, haste and see Hi For your rejoicing's sake Hi What mirth about your blossomed tree Hi Our dainty children make. Hi I Forget that mother who tonight H In some chill tenement's poor light Hi Holds little, giftless children .tight H And dreads to see them wake. 3jj Forget and welcome thrice to us H The well-content and prosperous.
