heeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry,His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.A wink of his eye and a twist of his headSoon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,And filled all the stockings—then turned with a jerkAnd laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle;But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Hurrah! well have a holiday; And through the wood and up the gladeWell go in sunshine and in shade Over the hills and far away.

Kept on crying night and day, Till her friends lost patience; What shall we do to stop her, pray? So said her relations. Send her to the sandy plains, In the zone called torrid:Send her where it never rains, Where the heat is horrid! Mind that she has only flour For her daily feeding;Let her have a page an hour Of the dryest reading. 202 Little Folks Book of Verse When the poor girl has endured Six months of this drying,Winifred will come back cured, Let us hope, of crying. William B. Rands. MERRY RAIN Sprinkle, sprinkle, comes the rain,Tapping on the window-p
