The Evergreen Tree So Tall

The tree so tall,
Rising above all.
My favorite evergreen,
From a distance seen.

At Christmas standing in the living-room,
To be celebrated soon.
Decorated with loving care,
Bells, balls, ribbons, lights so fair.

Then we look forward to the presents under the tree,
Wrapped ever so carefully and free.
Ribbons and Christmas paper there,
Many packages are here.

Parents and children gather round,
You don't hear a sound.
To celebrate Christmas day,
What a beautiful stay.
