KRISS KRINGLE, by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Just as the moon was fading amid her misty rings | |||
Just as the moon was fading amid her misty rings, And every stocking was stuffed with childhood's precious things. Old Kriss Kringle looked round, and saw on the elm-tree bough, High-hung, an oriole's nest, silent and empty now. Quite like a stocking, he laughed, " pinned up there on the tree Little I thought the birds expected a present from me!" Then old Kriss Kringle, who loves a joke as well as the best. Dropped a handful of flakes in the oriole's empty nest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN ALPINE PICTURE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH AN ODE ON THE UNVEILING OF THE SHAW MEMORIA BOSTON COMMON, MAY 31, 1897 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH APPRECIATION by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BABY BELL by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BEFORE THE RAIN by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH BY THE POTOMAC by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH FREDERICKSBURG by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH GUILIELMUS REX by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH HEREDITY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH MEMORY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH |
