A Christmas Circular Letter	A
	-
The city had withdrawn into itself	B
And left at last the country to the country	C
When between whirls of snow not come to lie	D
And whirls of foliage not yet laid there drove	E
A stranger to our yard who looked the city	C
Yet did in country fashion in that there	F
He sat and waited till he drew us out	G
A buttoning coats to ask him who he was	H
He proved to be the city come again	I
To look for something it had left behind	J
And could not do without and keep its Christmas	K
He asked if I would sell my Christmas trees	L
My woods the young fir balsams like a place	M
Where houses all are churches and have spires	N
I hadn't thought of them as Christmas Trees	L
I doubt if I was tempted for a moment	O
To sell them off their feet to go in cars	P
And leave the slope behind the house all bare	F
Where the sun shines now no warmer than the moon	Q
I'd hate to have them know it if I was	H
Yet more I'd hate to hold my trees except	R
As others hold theirs or refuse for them	S
Beyond the time of profitable growth	T
The trial by market everything must come to	U
I dallied so much with the thought of selling	V
Then whether from mistaken courtesy	C
And fear of seeming short of speech or whether	A
From hope of hearing good of what was mine	W
I said There aren't enough to be worth while	X
I could soon tell how many they would cut	Y
You let me look them over	A
	-
You could look	Z
But don't expect I'm going to let you have them	S
Pasture they spring in some in clumps too close	A2
That lop each other of boughs but not a few	U
Quite solitary and having equal boughs	B2
All round and round The latter he nodded Yes to	U
Or paused to say beneath some lovelier one	C2
With a buyer's moderation That would do	U
I thought so too but wasn't there to say so	D2
We climbed the pasture on the south crossed over	A
And came down on the north	E2
He said A thousand	F2
	-
A thousand Christmas trees at what apiece	G2
	-
He felt some need of softening that to me	C
A thousand trees would come to thirty dollars	H2
	-
Then I was certain I had never meant	I2
To let him have them Never show surprise	J2
But thirty dollars seemed so small beside	K2
The extent of pasture I should strip three cents	L2
For that was all they figured out apiece	G2
Three cents so small beside the dollar friends	M2
I should be writing to within the hour	A
Would pay in cities for good trees like those	N2
Regular vestry trees whole Sunday Schools	O2
Could hang enough on to pick off enough	P2
A thousand Christmas trees I didn't know I had	Q2
Worth three cents more to give away than sell	R2
As may be shown by a simple calculation	C2
Too bad I couldn't lay one in a letter	A
I can't help wishing I could send you one	C2
In wishing you herewith a Merry Christmas	K
