IT is Christmas and the sunshine	A
Lies golden on the fields	B
And flowers of white and purple	C
Yonder fragrant creeper yields	B
	-
Like the plumes of some bold warrior	D
The cocoa tree on high	E
Lifts aloft its feathery branches	F
Amid the deep blue sky	E
	-
From yonder shadowy peepul	C
The pale fair lilac dove	G
Like music from a temple	C
Sings a song of grief and love	G
	-
The earth is bright with blossoms	H
And a thousand jewelled wings	I
Mid the green boughs of the tamarind	J
A sudden sunshine flings	I
	-
For the East is earth's first born	K
And hath a glorious dower	L
As Nature there had lavished	J
Her beauty and her power	D
	-
And yet I pine for England	J
For my own my distant home	M
My heart is in that island	J
Where'er my steps may roam	M
	-
It is merry there at Christmas	N
We have no Christmas here	O
'Tis a weary thing a summer	D
That lasts throughout the year	P
	-
I remember how the banners	Q
Hung round our ancient hall	C
Bound with wreaths of shining holly	C
Brave winter's coronal	C
	-
And above each rusty helmet	J
Waved a new and cheering plume	R
A branch of crimson berries	S
And the latest rose in bloom	R
	-
And the white and pearly misletoe	J
Hung half concealed o'er head	J
I remember one sweet maiden	T
Whose cheek it dyed with red	J
	-
The morning waked with carols	U
A young and joyous band	J
Of small and rosy songsters	U
Came tripping hand in hand	J
	-
And sang beneath our windows	U
Just as the round red sun	T
Began to melt the hoar frost	J
And the clear cold day begun	T
	-
And at night the aged harper	D
Played his old tunes o'er and o'er	D
From sixteen up to sixty	J
All were dancing on that floor	V
	-
Those were the days of childhood	J
The buoyant and the bright	J
When hope was life's sweet sovereign	T
And the heart and step were light	J
	-
I shall come again a stranger	D
To all that once I knew	W
For the hurried steps of manhood	J
From life's flowers have dash'd the dew	W
	-
I yet may ask their welcome	X
And return from whence I came	Y
But a change is wrought within me	J
They will not seem the same	Y
	-
For my spirits are grown weary	J
And my days of youth are o'er	D
And the mirth of that glad season	T
Is what I can feel no more	V
