Take a cup of thoughtfulness, Take a cup of love, Take the herbs that cheer and bless, Drawn from stores above. Take a pinch or two of pains, And an ounce of wit, And of secrecy two grains, Just to flavor it. Cook it at the fire of zest, Seeking not your own: You will have the merriest Christmas ever known. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DREAM by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE VAMPIRE by RUDYARD KIPLING SONNET: 16.
