Oh, would that I could fly to you
In my aëroplane—
Go soaring through the azure sky,
Above the mists and rain!

Perhaps some day I'll get my wish,
Since dreams sometimes come true;
My greetings then I'll bring to you,
And Christmas cards taboo.

I'll spread my wings and sally forth—
A modern Santa Claus!
On schedule time I'll make my trips,
Defying all speed laws.

Meantime, I must "stick to my sphere,"
But love has wings, they say;
So proof! away IT goes to you;
You'll get it Christmas day.
