Subject(s): Happiness; Joy; Delight


May these Dresden figures bright and gay
Bring happy thoughts on Christmas day.
These little figures quaint and dear
I know you'll like, I have no fear.
The gallant man with coat of gray
Came from Dresden, far away
His little trousers of russet red
Would turn 'most any woman's head.
His charming lady with frills of lace
Will adorn, I know, your mantle place.
I hope these figures far from home
Will not feel lonesome and alone
But may well like their adopted land
As on your mantle place they stand.
To me, they are an ideal pair
Who I hope will be happy anywhere.
