Pllbwt fltrt, E.t Santa Claus' Own Rhyme v While summer's sun is high and het in this mild-tempered zone, Up north among the drifting snows, I smoke my pipe alone; But when the leaves have left the trees, and frost is in the glen. Yeu need me here te bring geed cheer se, here I am again! Though I am very, very old, my heart is ever young There's music in each childish voice, each lisping, prattling tongue; That's why I'm jelly all day long I listen with delight, And premise, when they ask for gi f ts, 'most everything in sight ! Why, yes, of course, I -keep my word with thousands helping me Because I put into their hearts the Christmas spirit see? My ruddy cheek, the beard and coat, the fur-trimmed cap and glove These merely arc the symbols whidh, at Christmas time, mean LOVE ! Se, here at Eighth and Market Streets, as you may well believe, I cheese te make my dwelling place, right up till Christmas Eve. I favor most the geed old Stere the Wonderland of Toys Fer dells and games and sleds and drums for little girls and boys. On every side amazing things, that whirr and whizz and prance, And float and fly and squeak and toot, turn somersaults and dance! Ten thousand dells some native born and some from ,o'er the sea, With coaches, beds and chiffoniers, and china sets for tea. Then, for the boys, arc wagons, trains, fire engines, "aute'biles," Velocipedes and kiddie kars and everything en wheels! The Boek Stere is delightful, tee and books, I'm sure, you'll sec In every little stocking, or en the Christmas tree. But when the Christmas Spirit takes possession of our hearts, It doesn't step with children's gifts that's only where it starts! It spreads, it permeates, pervades one feels it through and through; You're seeking gifts for kith and kin and they, likewise, for you!
