Christmas Acrostic.
C ome, ye blithe ones, young and rosy,
H ere’s the fireside, warm and cosy!
R ambles by the brake and briar;
I n the evening by the fire.
S ongs of old and childhood’s stories!
T hese are ever Christmas stories!
M any days like this may find you
A ltered – casting thoughts behind you;
S till ’twill gladden to remember
D ear delights in “dark December,”
A nd the bright red holly berries-
Y outh and health make Christmas merry.
