PRISONER'S BASE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THOUGH ALMIGHTY, FAR FROM ME
Last Line: IN OUR HEARTS, A PRISONER.
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; NATIVITY, THE;
Though Almighty, far from me,
Little Babe, you cannot be;
If perchance you get away,
Back you come on Christmas-day,
And we children hold you here
In our hearts, a prisoner.
