The little Man and tiny MaidA
Who love the Fairies in the gladeA
Who see them in the tangled grassB
The Gnomes and Brownies as they passB
Who hear the Sprites from Elf land callC
Go frolic with these Brownies smallC
And join these merry sporting ElvesD
But ever be your own sweet selvesD
-
The big bright Moon hung high and roundE
In a densely darkened skyF
The tall pines swayed and mocked and groanedG
The mountains grew so highF
That the Man in the Moon came out and saidH
'Ho Spooks for a merry dance '-
The winds blow hard the caverns roarI
While o'er the earth they pranceJ
-
A Witch and a Goblin led the spritesJ
Out from the sky they sprungK
And down the milky way they slidL
And over a chasm swungK
The streams around ran witches' brothM
The fumes were strong and rankN
These Elfin creatures all were wrothM
While of the stuff they drankN
-
-
The cunning Moon looked on and laughedO
With a shrill and sneering jibeP
Her soul grew fat to see them chaffedO
This mad and elfish tribeP
The big black caldron boiled so highF
With food for these queer mitesJ
That it lit the world throughout the skyF
And down came all the SpritesJ
-
-
Their mad career upset a starQ
As through the air they flewR
It cringed in fear and shot afarQ
And fell where no one knewR
Orion's sword was broke in bitsJ
Corona's crown was goneS
Capella seemed to lose her witsJ
While all so longed for dawnS
-
Then from the night there came a soundO
Of sleigh bells ringing sweetO
Out of the chaos came a manT
Kris Kringle for his Christmas treatO
'Ho Kris ' they cried 'We'll have some funU
We'll bind the old man downV
We'll tie him up and toss him o'erW
Into our Goblin town '-
-
They climbed the sleigh with shout and dinX
To bind his hands and feetO
A hundred strong they clambered inX
Our good old Kris to meetO
He sat quite still with twinkling eyesJ
Then seized his mystic wandO
He raised it up and waved it roundO
Stilled was this chattering bandO
-
Stiffly stark and still they stoodO
Clad in elfish clothesJ
Some were wax and some were woodO
One had crushed his noseJ
'Playthings rare ' he said and smiledO
'For children rich and poorY
Some I'll leave the crippled childO
And some at the orphan's door '-
-
He shook his reins and called his steedO
To bear him swiftly onZ
Full well it knew its Master's needO
To hurry e'er the dawnS
From house to house they scampered downV
Their sleigh bells ringing clearA2
Through chimneys in the sleepy townV
Good Kris and his reindeerA2
-
The windows rattled the moonbeams tattledO
A tale so strange and queerA2
They told how at night in dire affrightO
The Moon had hid in fearA2
-
That he'd called in sport his elfish courtO
Of spooks and witches gayB2
Each Elfin child by glee beguiledO
Brought scores of others they sayB2
Then a man appeared with flowing beardO
In a sled with a reindeer fleetO
They gathered about with din and shoutO
To bind him hands and feetO
-
Then the Moon laughed loud at the gathering crowdO
While he held his sides in mirthM
To see old Kris in a plight like thisJ
Toiling o'er the earthM
-
But alas for the Moon he had laughed like a loonC2
For Kris is a hero of oldO
Yes Kris is a seer with his small reindeerA2
He captured the Goblins boldO
And he changed them they say in a wonderful wayB2
To toys for his Christmas cheerA2
The big dolls stare with a goblin airD2
-
While the moonbeams prattle I hear a rattleE2
Of hoofs on the chimney sideO
Then out on the snow I gaze belowF2
'Hurrah it's Kris Kringle ' I criedO
Then sly as a mouse he entered the houseJ
And hung up his treasures so gayB2
Then out with a dash he sped like a flashG2
Into the night and awayB2
