HOLLY BERRY AND MISTLETOE by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

First Line: THE TREES ARE BARE, WILD FLIES THE SNOW
Last Line: YULE IS THE TIME OF THE HOLLY BERRY.
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; NATIVITY, THE;

THE trees are bare, wild flies the snow,
Hearths are glowing, hearts are merry --
High in the air is the Mistletoe,
Over the door is the Holly Berry.
Never have care how the winds may blow,
Never confess the revel grows weary --
Yule is the time of the Mistletoe,
Yule is the time of the Holly Berry.
