PRETTY FIR TREE by ANNETTE WYNNE

Last Line: Pretty fir tree, just as you!
Subject(s): FIR TREES;

PRETTY fir tree, when you grew
In the dark and damp and dew,
Did you ever dream that you
Would come and stand before our sight,
Dressed in gold and silver light
On Christmas night?

Pretty fir tree shining so,
I am glad you learned to grow,
I am glad you came to be
Our Christmas tree.

Shine upon us all the night.
Fill our hearts with Christmas light.
Let us make our small place bright
All life through,
Pretty fir tree, just as you!
