Let Me Take You By the Hand

 Let me take you by the hand, 
to St.Albans Abbey.
 At the far end of the lantern- lit cobbled alley.

 There's the Pines and Needles Christmas market,
and a magic garden .
Yuletide trees and Holly Wreaths,
A festive foliage with plenty of treats.

 Mixed spiced scents of boiled  apples' fruit cider,
A wafting aroma of roasted chestnuts fill the air,
 Savoured sweetness of hot red mulled wine
A Christmas Spirit,A Midnight Hymn.


Sizzling sausages on this night of bliss
Beneath a mistletoe, a chocolate-dipped shared kiss.

In each stall, sixty in all,
 Hand-made decorations carved on a wooden floor.

A Jesus'Grotto , a reindeer,and santa clause.
Wrought-iron boxes, "Put  in a penny
 for a good cause."

 A carousel, and  a merry-go-round,
  A giant  tea-cup, a trumpeter's sound.

 Children singing carols by candlelight ,
in the loggia gallery,a star shines bright.

Skates on ice, a paradise .
Dancing in the late rain,
wearing a hundred smiles.

 In the oldest British pub
as the fire dies , last embers glow,
Cheeks touch,lips  brush,
The winds softly blow on St.Alban's winter snow.
