Poems (Curwen)/A Christmas Wish
A Christmas Wish.
to each and all.
Joy fill your cup,
Mirth with you sup,
And plenty heap your table up,
And Love preside;
And sweet Goodwill
Kind thoughts instil,
And banish all remembered ill
This Christmastide.
And Hope be bright,
And cares as light
And transient as the snow-flakes white;
And at your side
Be gentle Peace:
God grant you these,
With blessings that shall never cease,
This glad Yuletide.
