Presents of Christmas

‘Tis the season ‘Tis the time Time for presents Time for lists Lists of things to do Lists of people to love Love the cold Love the warmth Warmth of smiles Warmth of promises Promises for Santa Promises to keep Keep the fire burning Keep the wind away Away from the home Away from my mind Mind full of tinsel Mind warm and aglow Aglow with happiness Aglow with hope Hope against frost Hope against cold Cold is my nose Cold against the window Window showing the eve Window framing the night Night that’s blank Night I’m waiting for For Santa’s slewing sleigh For Rudolph’s clopping hooves Hooves that patter Hooves that glide Glide over the world Glide over chimney-tops Chimney-tops of quiet houses Chimney-tops waiting for presents Presents that glow Presents for all All the young All the old Old Saint Nick Old yuletide spirit Spirit that gives Spirit that’ll never stop Stop your darting eyes Stop for Christmas Christmas that’s love Christmas that is Is... Love...
