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 time comes round,

[10] They remember it again –

Echo still the joyful sound

“Peace on earth, good will to men!”

Yet the hearts must child-like be

Where such heavenly guests abide:

Unto children in their glee

All the year is Christmas-tide!

So, forgetting tricks and play

For a moment, lady dear,

We would wish you, if we may,

[20] Merry Christmas, glad New Year!
