LAUDO PUELLAM, by                    
First Line: O christmas girl, whose dainty feet
Last Line: O christmas girl.
Subject(s): Beauty; Flirtation


OCHRISTMAS girl, whose dainty feet
To-night so rhythmically beat
In mazes of this Yule-tide dance,
How, when I catch your laughing glance,
How can I help your charms repeat?

Safe 'sconced in this old window-seat,
Behind these friendly curtains, sweet,
'T were just enough to hold thy hands,
O Christmas girl.

I might say words in this retreat,
Where light and darkness seem to meet,
To raise faint blushes to enhance
The beauty of thy cheek perchance, --
With thee life's joys were all complete,
O Christmas girl.
