CHRISTMAS.

Previous
Oh! fair and buoyant Christmas!
Well-spring of childish glee; Gay jubilance and noisy mirth
Thrill round thy fairy tree.
Oh! roseate flush of Christmas!
Bright vistas crown the day, When young hearts wake to tenderness
Beneath thy genial ray.
Oh! cheerful, hopeful Christmas!
Rest in the toilsome year; Thy glory-glimpse illumes the soul;
Earth's cloudlets disappear.
Oh! sweet and tranquil Christmas!
Hours past, and hours to come; Calm retrospect of vanished joys;
Dear prospect of our home.
Oh! high and holy Christmas!
Unfraught of earthly leaven; Our spirits chime in angel song,
And near the nearing heaven.
