OUR CHRISTMAS TREE, by                    
First Line: Do you know
Last Line: And our tree is here at last!
Subject(s): Christmas Trees; December


DO you know
How long it took our pretty tree to grow?
How it stood
In the quiet wood,
How one pretty star at night
Filled the topmost branch with light;
"Little tree," the small star cried,
"You will leave the dark woodside,
Travel where the children are,
You will have a golden star
On your forehead; bells will ring,
You will hear the children sing,
You will grow to be
A glorious Christmas tree!"

Now the waiting time is past—
And our tree is here at last!
