I had fed the fire and stirred it till the sparkles in delight	A
Snapped their saucy little fingers at the chill December night	A
And in dressing gown and slippers I had tilted back 'my	B
throne'	C
The old split bottomed rocker and was musing all alone	C
	-
I could hear the hungry Winter prowling round the outer door	D
And the tread of muffled footsteps on the white piazza floor	D
But the sounds came to me only as the murmur of a stream	B
That mingled with the current of a lazy flowing dream	B
	-
Like a fragrant incense rising curled the smoke of my cigar	E
With the lamplight gleaming through it like a mist enfolded	A
star	E
And as I gazed the vapor like a curtain rolled away	F
With a sound of bells that tinkled and the clatter of a sleigh	F
	-
And in a vision painted like a picture in the air	G
I saw the elfish figure of a man with frosty hair	G
A quaint old man that chuckled with a laugh as he appeared	A
And with ruddy cheeks like embers in the ashes of his beard	A
	-
He poised himself grotesquely in an attitude of mirth	H
On a damask covered hassock that was sitting on the hearth	I
And at a magic signal of his stubby little thumb	B
I saw the fireplace changing to a bright proscenium	B
	-
And looking there I marveled as I saw a mimic stage	J
Alive with little actors of a very tender age	J
And some so very tiny that they tottered as they walked	A
And lisped and purled and gurgled like the brooklets when they	F
talked	A
	-
And their faces were like lilies and their eyes like purest dew	A
And their tresses like the shadows that the shine is woven	C
through	A
And they each had little burdens and a little tale to tell	K
Of fairy lore and giants and delights delectable	L
	-
And they mixed and intermingled weaving melody with joy	M
Till the magic circle clustered round a blooming baby boy	M
And they threw aside their treasures in an ecstacy of glee	N
And bent with dazzled faces and with parted lips to see	N
	-
'Twas a wondrous little fellow with a dainty double chin	C
And chubby cheeks and dimples for the smiles to blossom in	C
And he looked as ripe and rosy on his bed of straw and reeds	O
As a mellow little pippin that had tumbled in the weeds	O
	-
And I saw the happy mother and a group surrounding her	P
That knelt with costly presents of frankincense and myrrh	P
And I thrilled with awe and wonder as a murmur on the air	G
Came drifting o'er the hearing in a melody of prayer	G
	-
'By the splendor in the heavens and the hush upon the sea	N
And the majesty of silence reigning over Galilee	N
We feel Thy kingly presence and we humbly bow the knee	N
And lift our hearts and voices in gratefulness to Thee	N
	-
Thy messenger has spoken and our doubts have fled and gone	C
As the dark and spectral shadows of the night before the dawn	C
And in the kindly shelter of the light around us drawn	C
We would nestle down forever in the breast we lean upon	C
	-
You have given us a shepherd You have given us a guide	A
And the light of Heaven grew dimmer when You sent him from Your	D
side	A
But he comes to lead Thy children where the gates will open wide	A
To welcome his returning when his works are glorified	A
	-
By the splendor in the heavens and the hush upon the sea	N
And the majesty of silence reigning over Galilee	N
We feel Thy kingly presence and we humbly bow the knee	N
And lift our hearts and voices in gratefulness to Thee '	-
	-
Then the vision slowly failing with the words of the refrain	C
Fell swooning in the moonlight through the frosty window pane	C
And I heard the clock proclaiming like an eager sentinel	L
Who brings the world good tidings 'It is Christmas all is	Q
well '	-
