Christmas Greetings ~ From A Fairy To A Child

 

Lady dear, if Fairies may

For a moment lay aside

Cunning 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.”

Nativity

Yet the hearts must child-like be

Where such heavenly guests abide;

Unto children, in their glee,

All the year is Christmas-tide.

 

Thus, forgetting tricks and play

For a moment, Lady dear,

We would wish you, if we may;

Merry Christmas, glad New Year!
