HOLLY berries red and bright, Wealth of candles flickering light, Christmas in the air! Childish faces all aglow, Outside sleigh bells in the snow — Banished is dull care. Older wiseheads for the time Join in sport and song and rhyme — Happy Christmastide! Memory brings back golden youth, Eyes then seeing only truth Ever at its side. Joy to-night is crowned the queen Of the festive Christmas scene. May her rule be long! None can claim a rebel heart With her followers forms a part — Theirs a gladsome song! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY |
