CHRISTMAS COMES AGAIN.
LET me be merry now, 'tis time;
The season is at hand
For Christmas rhyme and Christmas chime,
Close up, and form the band.
The season is at hand
For Christmas rhyme and Christmas chime,
Close up, and form the band.
The winter fires still burn as bright,
The lamp-light is as clear,
And since the dead are out of sight,
What hinders Christmas cheer?
The lamp-light is as clear,
And since the dead are out of sight,
What hinders Christmas cheer?
Why think or speak of that abyss
In which lies all my Past?
High festival I need not miss,
While song and jest shall last.
In which lies all my Past?
High festival I need not miss,
While song and jest shall last.
