O NANNY, my dear little Nanny! and

where have you been to-day?

Y our little coat's old, and the wind blows cold,

and where have you been, I pray?"

"Dear Granny, I've been to the forest to look

for a Christmas-tree—

Santa Claus is so kind, I thought I would find

one growing there wild, maybe,

Full of cakes, with a doll, and candy, and all

for a wee little body like me."
