CHEISTMAS MUSINGS . BY W . HEATON . CHRISTMAS has come with its boisterous breath . And its leafless trees and bowers , AVhile the flowers all round Lie hid in the ground ,
And AA'ait for the summer hours . AVhere is the daisy ' s crimson fringe , : . The pink and the damask rose , And the bells of blue In the woods which grew AATiere the mm-mm-ing streamlet HOAA ' S ? AAliere is the lark with its matchless song ,
And the throstle's joyful time , And the cuckoo ' s note AA hieh did sweetly float Through the ivoods in tho month of June 1 Hopes and delights ivhich were young and fair , And joys that wero fresh and gay , Like the choicest flowers
In the springtide hours , They have long since died aivay , And left the sndiy on the mountain broil' , And frost on tlie windoiv pane ; While the friends we loved Afe ~ lJy death removed To the grave ' s deep dark domain .
I But music floats on the midnight air , I Through the leafless trees 'tis borne , j And voices sing ' Of a glorious King-, AVho came on this joyful morn . - * * * AVhen the mistletoe and the berries red
Of the holly-bush are seen On the old church walls And the ancient halls AA'ith leaves from tho ii'y green . And many a bough from the old yew * tree On each picture frame is spread , AVhile the box tree gay ,
On this festal day , Is torn from its woodland bed , And hung in the homes of my fatherland—The homes of the gay and proud , AVhile the log fire gloiA'S , And the cold wind bloivs , And snow doth the grass enshroud .
Then raise a song to old Christmas true , As they did in the days of yore : To the Saviour born On this happy morn P . e glory for evermore .
