Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDBEEB FFBGHB IIBJJB KKBLLB

For thee my small one trinkets and new toysA
The wine of life and all its keenest joysA
When Christmas comesB
For me the broken playthings of the pastC
That in my folded hands I still hold fastC
When Christmas comesB
-
For thee fair hopes of all that yet may beD
And tender dreams of sweetest mysteryD
When Christmas comesB
For thee the future in a golden hazeE
For me the memory of some bygone daysE
When Christmas comesB
-
For thee the things that lightly come and goF
For thee the holly and the mistletoeF
When Christmas comesB
For me the smiles that are akin to tearsG
For me the frost and snows of many yearsH
When Christmas comesB
-
For thee the twinkling candles bright and gayI
For me the purple shadows and the greyI
When Christmas comesB
For thee the friends that greet thee at the doorJ
For me the faces I shall see no moreJ
When Christmas comesB
-
But ah for both of us the mystic starK
That leadeth back to Bethlehem afarK
When Christmas comesB
For both of us the child they saw of oldL
That evermore his mother's arms enfoldL
When Christmas comesB
