  I know you're in the house; I know you are in there; I feel the green and breathing All around the air. I know you're safe and warm; I know you're very near. Oh, darling Tree, Do you hear? I promised not to look (The way I did before), But I can hear you purring— Purring, through the door: A green, soft, purring; Just as if you knew: Everybody here Loves you. Don't feel lonely, Now you are in-doors.— To-morrow,—all yours! Then you won't know what to think!— All over Candle-light. —Oh, darling Tree, Good-night. And I love you, I love you; And everybody, too. And so does the market-man That brought us you! And if you haven't Anything For me, this year, —I love you. Good-night! Do you hear? |
