Sing, Hey, when the time rolls round this way, <br />And the bells peal out, 'Tis Christmas Day; <br />The world is better then by half, <br />For joy, for joy; <br />In a little while you will see it laugh <br />For a song's to sing and a glass to quaff, <br />My boy, my boy. <br />So here's to the man who never says nay! <br />Sing, Hey, a song of Christmas-Day! <br /> <br /> <br />II <br /> <br /> <br />Sing, Ho, when roofs are white with snow, <br />And homes are hung with mistletoe; <br />Old Earth is not half bad, I wis- <br />What cheer! what cheer! <br />How it ever seemed sad the wonder is <br />With a gift to give and a girl to kiss, <br />My dear, my dear. <br />So here's to the girl who never says no! <br />Sing, Ho, a song of the mistletoe! <br /> <br /> <br />III <br /> <br /> <br />No thing in the world to the heart seems wrong <br />When the soul of a man walks out with song; <br />Wherever they go, glad hand in hand, <br />And glove in glove, <br />The round of the land is rainbow-spanned, <br />And the meaning of life they understand <br />Is love, is love. <br />Let the heart be open, the soul be strong, <br />And life will be glad as a Christmas song.<br /><br />Madison Julius Cawein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song-for-yule-2/
